Hi, That certain server is a pretty old Mapserver v. 5.0 and it does not like the non-standard vendor parameter &MAP_RESOLUTION=96. Fresh Mapservers do not fail because of that and actually since version 6.0 Mapserver supports vendor option MAP_RESOLUTION. According to WMS standard servers should quietly skip extra parameters so principally there is a bug in Mapserver 5.0. However, I do not like that QGIS is adding always its own vendor parameters and users do not have a way to turn off the non-standard parameters. I have two reasoning for this: 1) MAP_RESOLUTION is not defined in the standard and for server A it can mean something different than for server B while QGIS may be awaiting still something else. 2) Even vendor options should be skipped, we have here an example that some servers may fail in skipping them. Nobody will fix Mapserver 5.0 and even it is wrong, it is the QGIS user who suffers now. User can only ask server admin to update (it may take a while) or switch off QGIS and use another WMS client like OpenJUMP. For my mind it should be possible to configure QGIS WMS to run in a safe mode and use only those parameters which belong to WMS standard. -Jukka Rahkonen- _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
