[Qgis-user] pull data from geoserver

[Ian Turton]

It looks like they have set a proxy url in the global settings

<ows:Operation name="DescribeFeatureType">
<ows:DCP>
<ows:HTTP>
<ows:Get xlink:href="https://gis.drcog.org/wfs"/>
<ows:Post xlink:href="https://gis.drcog.org/wfs"/>
</ows:HTTP>
</ows:DCP>

But that URL doesn't answer requests (curl '
https://gis.drcog.org/wfs?SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=DescribeFeatureType&VERSION=2.0.0&TYPENAMES=DRCOGPUB:bridges_low_clearance&TYPENAME=DRCOGPUB:bridges_low_clearance'
-H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 QGIS/32203'  --compressed) - I can highly
recommend the QGIS Network Logger plugin to investigate this sort of issue.

While
https://gis.drcog.org/geoserver/ows?service=wfs&REQUEST=DescribeFeatureType&VERSION=2.0.0&TYPENAMES=DRCOGPUB:bridges_low_clearance&TYPENAME=DRCOGPUB:bridges_low_clearance
does
work there's no easy way to get QGis to use this URL.
It's odd that the WFS connection manager lacks the `ignore URL in
capabilities` option that WMS has that would let you get around this sort
of misconfigured server.

I've copied in the contact from the capabilities doc in the hope they can
fix it.
