[Qgis-user] Export WMS Layer

[Till Adams]

Rainer,

it is not difficult to build the getmap request on your own. Take this 
as an example and apply this to your WMS:

You can pick the Bbox coordinates from your QGIS window, then put the 
request in a browser to check:

This is an example:
http://labs.metacarta.com/wms/vmap0?LAYERS=basic&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&FORMAT=image%2Fjpeg&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=-5.625,45,0,50.625&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256

So change the URL[http://labs.metacarta.com/wms/vmap0]  (that what you 
put in QGIS), then the
layers [*basic*]
srid [4326]
bbox [-5.625,45,0,50.625]

Parameters to your WMS, and probably the width & height to get a bigger 
image -
that's it,

Regards, Till
