Description
This ticket derives from #3929, where after fixing that problem, another appeared.
Qgis is unable to view WMS data from
http://www.nztopoonline.linz.govt.nz/wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap?ServiceName=nztopo_wms&
The problem appears to be with the wms server sending inconsistent srs and bounding box information in response to a GetCapabilities request (the boundingbox values, which should be in lat/long, are in some other coordinate system). However, since mapserver appears to work fine (see one of the comments in #3929), there may be a way to work around the problem with nztopo.
The WMS getcapabilities request is:
http://www.nztopoonline.linz.govt.nz/wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap?ServiceName=nztopo_wms&Service=wms&request=GetCapabilities
A portion from the rely to that request is:
<Layer queryable="1"> <Name>182</Name> <Title>DEM (15m)</Title> <SRS>EPSG:4326</SRS> <LatLonBoundingBox minx="1970006.456038" miny="5290004.86525579" maxx="3010006.19505419" maxy="6790036.81876791"/> <ScaleHint min="3.74121581576496" max="28.059118618237267"/> </Layer>
Note the LatLonBoundingBox attribute with min and max values that are clearly not latitude/longitudes.

The problem in this ticket is with the response from the nztopo-online server, not qgis. I'm removing the Milestone tag from it as the solution is beyond the control of qgis, but leaving the ticket open to serve as a note of a problem that needs to be resolved somehow.

The NZ topo service is no longer available, hence this problem has gone away:)
