Description

The following certainly happens with WMS, WCS, WMTS. Probably happens with other data providers, but they don't log as neatly for me.

1) Add WMS layer to map.
2) Zoom in using scroll wheel - zoom many "levels" at once.

What happens is that QGIS makes a request for every zoom level you pass through from the starting point to the finishing point. And then it cancels that request a fraction of a second later.
What it should do is only make the request for the final zoom level.

This seems like a fundamental thing that would greatly improve responsiveness and reduce load on services if fixed.

I have seen this before. OpenJUMP used to do the same. Adding a timer that waits for 0.7 seconds resolved the issue. See http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=3d1ded7f1002261520r47f33a42k8e99036c551f853d%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=jump-pilot-devel
