[Qgis-user] Unexpected end of file connecting to WFS on macOS

[Robert Hutton]

QGIS version: 3.4.1 macOS 64-bit
OS version: macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra

We have a geoserver install here which works fine with the latest QGIS on Windows and Linux, but 
always fails to connect with QGIS on macOS.

Procedure to replicate:

* Open the Data Source Manager, select WFS
* Add new server connection:
   * Name: AURIN Open API noauth
   * URL:  http://openapi.aurin.org.au/public/wfs
   * Version 1.1
* Click the Connect button

After exactly 60 seconds (the timeout set in Perferences), I get the error message: "unexpected end 
of file".  QGIS on Windows and Linux both connect in around 10 seconds, and increasing the timeout 
on macOS doesn't help.

In the Messages pane I only see a datetime with the word WARNING but no other info.  The WFS tab has 
"WARNING Download of capabilities failed: Operation canceled".  Network tab has: "WARNING Network 
request http://openapi.aurin.org.au/public/wfs?SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&VERSION=1.1.0 
timed out"

Is there any way I can debug this further?  I haven't managed to find any way to increase the log 
level, and trying to use tcpdump and wireshark hasn't gotten me anywhere either.

Thanks,

Rob
