Thu Feb 27 15:38:40 PST 2014

Ok, scratch that.  I had remembered that server was particularly strict 
w.r.t case, but the command is working as is for me:

$ gdalinfo --version
GDAL 1.9.0, released 2011/12/29

$ gdalinfo 
"WMS:http://geoint.lmic.state.mn.us/cgi-bin/wms?request=GetMap&version=1.1.1&layers=metro&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&SRS=EPSG:26915&BBOX=475400,4969100,518800,4991000&width=1200&height=800d&format=image/jpeg"
