[Qgis-user] Which port does qgis use to connect to wms, wfs, ... plugin repository?

[Jonathan Moules]

It'd be inclined to agree with Richard that it's a proxy issue. Your
web-browsers are almost certainly pre-configured to use the proxy. If you
look at their settings they'll have the proxy settings in them.

http://www.example.com/wms/ - is (always?) on port 80.

https://www.example.com/wms/ - is port 443

http://www.example.com:8080/wms/ - is port 8080. Any port can be specified
this way and it's how you know you're using port 80 - because otherwise
there would be a number here.
