[Qgis-user] WMS layer not working in QGIS

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi All,
A quick update to note that I've contacted the Land Registry and they've
identified the problem (they have some middle-ware that is eating the
content-type header). A fix is forthcoming but no timeline has been
provided. I'll post an update when it's fixed.
Cheers,
Jonathan
