Thank you for having a look at this bug.

#1 Updated by Paolo Cavallini over 15 years ago

I think this is reated to a bug in Qt, as also other Qt apps on the same system do not work through the same proxy. It is not limited to WMS: any request that should be proxyed (eg going to QGIS web page) does not work.
This is not debian-specific, as it shows up also on Fedora core 9.

#2 Updated by monty - over 15 years ago

Qgis use the HTTP CONNECT method to connect to the wms server. Disable the Connect Restriction in your squid.conf:

  1. Deny CONNECT to other than SSL ports
  • http_access deny CONNECT SSL_ports

#3 Updated by Andreas Neumann over 15 years ago

thanks for the hint - unfortunately I don't have access to the proxy configuration - this is a state-wide setting out of my control. However, I can ask the administrators of the proxy to look into the issue. I will report back if you suggestion solves my issue. It looks like this restriction in the proxy setting could be the cause.

Thanks for your help,
Andreas

#4 Updated by marchesinivan - about 15 years ago

I'm using debian testing
I have just installed qgis 1.0.1

We have a proxy of this type: 192.168.10.13 - port: 80

I have tried to use settings -> optins -> Proxy to define the proxy server but the answer, when I try to connect to a wms server is:
"Could not understand the response. The wms provider said:"

the console says:

It seems a problem of SSL??

That's all...
I think this problem is a major problem and can create difficulties to the introduction of Qgis into the Public Administrations

Thanks to all

No, as monty pointed out QGIS uses HTTP CONNECT to access the WMS server thought the proxy. But the proxy you use is configured to restrict HTTP CONNECT to port 443 (usually used HTTPS).

Perhaps it helps when you switch from HttpProxy to HttpCachingProxy (but I think that's currently available in 1.1 only).

Yes, that helps. Leaving this ticket open - as we should probably backport this to 1.0.

I have just installed osgeo qgis trunk and setting HttpProxy I can use WMS!!!

good!!! as soon as possible I will test it on debian

I think this bug should be closed now. It works fine for me.
