[Qgis-user] WMS Problems with the Windows builds

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi all,

I am still having the WMS problems on Windows (also seen on at least one
OSX machine). It works fine on Linux.

For some very strange reason it only offers the PNG version, which is a
lot slower than the JPEG version for aerial image WMS. It offers the
PNG8bit and PNG24bit versions, but no JPEG and no TIFF, although get
capabilities reports these file formats:

<Format>image/jpeg</Format>
<Format>image/gif</Format>
<Format>image/png</Format>
<Format>image/png; mode=24bit</Format>
<Format>image/vnd.wap.wbmp</Format>
<Format>image/tiff</Format>
<Format>image/svg+xml</Format>

I wonder what is causing the QGIS windows builds making the other formats
besides PNG to disappear? It can't be the qt-image formats. All of those
qt-image plugins are present.

The problem appears on QGIS 1.0.2, QGIS 1.1 and trunk (latest OSGeo build).

I would really appreciate if I could find a solution for this problem.

Thanks,
Andreas
