[Qgis-developer] Help Test WMS Basic HTTP Authentication

[Gary Sherman]

I have implemented basic HTTP authentication for the QGIS WMS provider
and am looking for some volunteers to test it. The changes have not
been committed to the QGIS SVN repository. Testing will require
compiling from source.

When creating or editing a WMS connection in QGIS you can now specify
an optional username and password to be used with a protected WMS.
These are stored in your QGIS settings. If you don't want the password
stored you can leave it blank and be prompted for it at connection
time.

I haven't had time to prepare a set of patches but you can download
the source tree (20Mb) that includes the WMS authentication from:

   http://gisalaska.com/qgis_wms_auth.zip

I am particularly interested in testing by folks that require a proxy.

Thanks,
