Once I've added the layer (the GetCapabilities is fine) my error log says:

Hi,

This service works also with OpenJUMP. However, you must not use the
advertised GetMap URL but the same base URL that is used for
GetCapabilities. But it does not help to check the corresponding box in QGIS
settings.

I checked that service is sending valid image data back to QGIS but for some
reason QGIS throws an error. Perhaps it does not like the response headers?
Is it awaiting for content type, which seems to miss. QGIS gives the same
error with text "Response: �PNG;" even if I use &format=image/jpeg in
request and then server is also sending back a jpeg image. Here is the
beginning of the raw data that comes from the server.
