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

[Jorge Gustavo Rocha]

Hi John,

I've added your WMS service and it works without any problem. I've just 
added the url and the connect works. The capabilities are displayed.

You can check the print screen [1] with your https WMS layer.

I'm using QGIS 2.18.2 on Ubuntu. Which OS are you using?

Regards,

Jorge Gustavo
