 In perfect world a well behaving WMS client should point GetMap requests
 to an URL that is announced by the well configured WMS server through the
 GetCapabilities document. However, in real life different GetCapabilities
 and GetMap URLs are often due to misconfigured server. Therefore it might
 be good if QGis could give users two alternatives when this situation is
 detected. The question might be:
 "WMS server is advertising http://server.org/WMS/GetMap as GetMap URL.
 Would you like to use it?".  If user answers No then GetCapabilities URL
 would be used also for GetMap.
