Description
When I choose not working WMS server from connections list and click "Connect" button, QGIS just hangs till socket times out.
It would be better to provide Stop/Cancel request button (ESC key) to stop current request and return to previous state.

+1, I've just hit this one. Qgis enters what looks like an infinite loop here, actually (unless the timeout is really really long). The log continuosly show these lines:
Debug: src/providers/wms/qgswmsprovider.cpp: 1445: (capabilitiesReplyFinished) entering.
Debug: src/providers/wms/qgswmsprovider.cpp: 1448: (capabilitiesReplyFinished) reply ok
Debug: src/providers/wms/qgswmsprovider.cpp: 1460: (capabilitiesReplyFinished) redirected getcapabilities: http://imsortho.cr.usgs.gov/wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap/USGS_EDC_Ortho_NYSDOP_Grid?SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

CPU is 100% busy with that, no way to interrupt.
Seems to be done by background query because GUI refreshes just fine.

For the record, the url returns a 301 Moved Permanently, but points to self. So it's really the server exposing a loop.
For comparison, wget(1) gives up after the 20th redirect. QGis could do something similar (need another ticket?)

Final report: qgis eventually timed out (wow, it took a long time).
Log contains:

I've added a protection for simple redirect loops with 6795aef03cf4f9194abb1fabf90d998dd491aa33
Could not test against valid (non-looping) redirects as I don't know of any such service.
