[Qgis-user] wms call responds with error

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi Jake,

I had no problems in requesting a GetCapabilities in my browser
http://mapserver.maine.gov/wms/mapserv.exe?MAP=c:/wms/basemap.map&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&VERSION=1.3.0

What happens if you use that URL in your browser? Do you get a 
capabilities document or not?
I doubt that this is a QGIS problem. Are you behind a proxy? If yes you 
have to tell QGIS in Settings - network.
