[Qgis-user] Does QGIS Support WMS Tile Service?

[Bob Bruce]

I found that I was unable to connect to the Onearth NASA WMS server for 
the global_mosaic visual_bright layer and found that the server was 
overloaded and wouldn't serve the image. They recommend that their tile 
server be used instead, so I was trying to figure out how to get QGIS 
(Mimas 1.3.0 on Vista) to use the Tiled WMS and have been unable to do 
this. This service is described on the website: 
http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/tiled.html - I added the URL: 
http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?request=GetTileService to my WMS 
connections and when I tried to connect to it, I got this message:

Could not understand the response. The wms provider said:

Could not get WMS capabilities in the expected format (DTD): no 
WMS_Capabilities or WMT_MS_Capabilities found

This is probably due to an incorrect WMS Server URL.

Tried URL: 
http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?request=GetTileService&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities


Am I doing something wrong?
