[Qgis-user] Invalid WMS requests

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi QGIS-Developers,

I just compiled the latest QGIS trunk version and ran into the problem
that the WMS plugin now generates invalid WMS requests. Did someone change
the WMS functionality recently?

I filed this as bug https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1346 - The problem
is that it adds a second question mark in the REQUEST string, although the
original connection string already contains a question mark.

Here is my original WMS connection string which works fine for the
GetCapabilities request:

http://192.168.0.10/cgi/mapserv?map=/home/mapserverdata/orthofoto_2006.map

Here is the connection string with two question marks that qgis generates:
http://192.168.0.10/cgi/mapserv?map=/home/mapserverdata/orthofoto_2006.map&?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&BBOX=696445.925470,245312.612036,696779.574530,245536.794214&SRS=EPSG:21781&WIDTH=890&HEIGHT=599&LAYERS=orthofoto_2006_average,orthofoto_2006_bilinear&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/jpeg

Note the second question mark before the SERVICE parameter. I think this
is rather simple to fix in the code. Just see if a question mark is
already present in the connection string and don't add one if it is.

I would very much appreciate if someone could fix this for me since I am
very much dependent on loading WMS layers.

Thanks,
Andreas
