 Hi,
 Althought not mandatory in WMS specs, the VERSION parameter has become
 important since most WMS servers now offer WMS 1.3.0. Using Qgis against
 Mapnik WMS service, the getCapabilities sent back by Mapnik is 1.3.0 by
 default (when not requesting a specific version) and Qgis is not able to
 parse it properly (no WMS_Capabilities or WMT_MS_Capabilities found).

 So I think Qgis should send VERSION=1.1.0 as long as it can't handle WMS
 1.3.0 specs properly.

 Regards

 Guillaume
