[Qgis-user] QGIS 2.16 cannot use WMS services as 2.14 did

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Mats,

I don't have any issues with 2.16.0 and WMS connections.  However I have 
been in your same shoes before, and besides the clearing-the-QGIS-cache 
trick, I found the best way to examine this is to use an external tool 
(Fiddler) to get the exact WMS request that is generated by QGIS.  It 
takes a little effort to set this up, but it really helps to find out 
why a single server won't load in QGIS.  Then you can take that full 
request and paste it into the ticket, for the QGIS team to examine.
