[Qgis-user] 404 Error with Qgis Add WMS Layer but valid response in web browser

[Brendan Morley]

Hi Phil,

I can reproduce the behaviour - rather odd really.  The only thing I can
think of is that that WMS server is only accepting connections from
certain HTTP User-Agents.  I could get to the URL via my Firefox.

Do you happen to be friendly with the webmaster of the WMS server?
Perhaps we can see if the URLs (QGIS vs. Firefox) really are coming in
the same to the WMS server.

Also, could you report this issue formally via
http://svn.qgis.org/trac/newticket -  This gives me a better chance of
not forgetting about your issue.


Thanks,
Brendan
