Description
I am getting a 404 Page not found response from a WMS server when using Qgis
(svn revision 5083) on Debian unstable
However, when I plug the same URL, copied from the Qgis error dialog box into
my web browser(Konqueror) I get a valid response, returning the capabilities xml data.
The problem has also been replicated by Brendan Morley (Firefox)
Below is the debugging output...................
Any ideas why ?

Hi Phil,
I can reproduce the behaviour - rather odd really. The only thing I can
think of is that that WMS server is only accepting connections from
certain HTTP User-Agents. I could get to the URL via my Firefox.
Do you happen to be friendly with the webmaster of the WMS server?
Perhaps we can see if the URLs (QGIS vs. Firefox) really are coming in
the same to the WMS server.
Also, could you report this issue formally via
http://svn.qgis.org/trac/newticket - This gives me a better chance of
not forgetting about your issue.
Thanks,
Brendan

Here is a link to the information page for the server[http://www.nztopoonline.linz.govt.nz/technicalusers/webservices.htm]
Unfortuately I do not know the webmaster.

This is just to confirm the problem could be replicated with SVN b1bc1849 (SVN r5233) here

If one telnets to www.nztopoonline.linz.govt.nz, port 80 and types:
GET /wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap?ServiceName=nztopo_wms&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
it returns the capability info as expected. tcpdump reports that Qgis is producing pretty much the same thing. I've emailed linz asking for some help...

As a workaround I have installed Mapserver, created a WMS Server using Mapserver.
Qgis happily onnects to the Mapserver WMS server which connects to http://www.nztopoonline.linz.govt.nz/wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap?ServiceName=nztopo_wmsx%x% for the map data.

The same problem has been reported in ticket #102, although with a different wms service. However both of the servers appear to be an esri product.

Fixed in svn 7141779b (SVN r5356). That commit resolves the immediate 404 error, but I can't seem to get any images from the server.
Problem was that some wms servers only seem to accept url's without the http://web.address.net bit. Firefox appears to strip the host off before sending the request which is why the same URL worked in Firefox but not qgis.

With the nztopo wms server, selecting any layer just returns an image that is completely transparent.
The wms server mentioned in ticket #102 works now.

Updated by Gavin Macaulay - over 18 years ago
The problem with qgis viewing data from the nztopo wms server now appears to be with the wms server sending inconsistent srs and bounding box information in response to a GetCapabilities request. However, since mapserver appears to work fine (see message above), there may be a way to work around the problem with nztopo.
Since this is a different problem to the original subject of this ticket, I'm closing this ticket and opening another (#103).
