Re: [Qgis-user] WFS/WMS layers behind HTTP/HTTPS basic auth
Is there any way to use HTTP basic auth with QGIS WMS? Currently there is no support for this but its something a few people have requested now. I recommend adding an enhancement ticket to trac and we will hopefully add support for this in the near future. Thanks Tim Is there already a ticket for this in track? Does the priority increase as more people ask for a specific feature? As a note; uDig handles WMS behind basic auth. You may want to peruse their source code before reinventing. Of course, they are programming in java so it's difficult to tell how much of the basic auth is being handled directly by java as opposed to the actual program handling it directly.

[Qgis-user] WFS/WMS layers behind HTTP/HTTPS basic auth
Hello, I am wondering if there is a way to get QGIS to request the basic auth user name and password for WMS/WFS URLs that are protected by HTTP basic auth. When I put a URL (that uses basic auth) into the WMS server connections I just get an error that the return message is misunderstood when QGIS attempts to connect. Is there any way to use HTTP basic auth with QGIS WMS? Thanks Peter ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
