[Qgis-user] WMS via https - "SSL handshake failed"

[John Cartwright]

Hello All,

I’m trying to use a WMS service over https and get the following error when trying to connect:

Failed to download capabilities:
Download of capabilities failed: SSL handshake failed

The URL works fine in a browser though.  I’m guessing that QGIS and the server are not able to agree on a cipher suite.  Can anyone tell me what ciphers QGIS supports or any way to get more insight into the underlying problem?

QGIS is version 2.18.2.

Thanks!
