I’m trying to add in QGIS a layer shown here : propluvia
When I watch in my console I see this request corresponding to the layer I need.
The server is not able to respond to a getCapabilities request for whatever reason.
So I tried to load this layer via this GDAL XML file.
<GDAL_WMS>
<Service name="WMS">
<ServerUrl>http://eau.agriculture.gouv.fr/WMS-T.php?map=/export/home/rimboval/geomap/mapfiles/propluvia.map&</ServerUrl>
<SRS>EPSG:2154</SRS>
<ImageFormat>image/png</ImageFormat>
<Transparent>TRUE</Transparent>
<Layers>Zones_Niveau_Sup</Layers>
<Change key="${date}">2014-08-18</Change>
</Service>
<DataWindow>
<UpperLeftX>508204</UpperLeftX>
<UpperLeftY>6363402</UpperLeftY>
<LowerRightX>627904</LowerRightX>
<LowerRightY>6468402</LowerRightY>
<SizeX>256</SizeX>
<SizeY>256</SizeY>
</DataWindow>
I’m using key=”${date}” because I saw it here.
The resulting image looks like in this question.

I tried to watch what QGIS is requesting with fiddler but I can’t see any request while it is working with a valid WMS layer.
