[Qgis-user] wms call responds with error

[Jake Maier]

I did have some computer issues and cleaned out a lot of malware which I got
by not watching what was added to a download. And I took that opportunity to
switch my c:drive to a ssd (which is noticeable faster in all windows
operations) using the system image for the transfer without having to
reinstall everything again. It seems to work fine except the server
downloads.

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=WM
S&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.
