Can you help me the following problem:
I try to load WMS layer from SAGIS (Salzburg GIS) into Qgis:
http://www.salzburg.gv.at/themen/se/sagis/download.htm
for example: Geoland WMS
http://service.salzburg.gv.at/ArcGIS/services/Geoland_WMS_Land_Salzburg/MapServer/WMSServer
added "?version=1.1.1" to the url
connect
The dirctory of the availble layers appers
ID-0 – layers
ID-1 – Polygondecker
ID-3 – Orientierunskarte
and so on till
ID-41 – Landesgrenzen
chose the first directory: 0 – Layers (or any other, does not matter)
click "connect" (Hinzufügen)
following report appears:
Antwort: (<)?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
(<)!DOCTYPE ServiceExceptionReport SYSTEM "http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.1.1/exception_1_1_1.dtd">
(<)ServiceExceptionReport version="1.1.1">
(<)ServiceException code="InvalidFormat">
Can't parse XML request.
(<)/ServiceException>
(<)/ServiceExceptionReport>
edit:
When I add the suggestion from Brad:
?request=getcapabilities&service=WMS&version=1.1.1&
still the same message as above appears
I expect to see the chosen layers, but i can only see it in the layer dialog. whenever doing a click on the layers (e.g. zoom to selected layer) the same error message as above appears.
Thanks a lot.

I think you need to complete the WMS query. It typically looks like a base URL, plus a service identifier (what service you want to request from that server - in your case WMS) and a request type (e.g. getcapabilities), as well as the version of the service (which you have). So the bit you add is:
In QGIS, the part you put in as the URL is then:
That will give you back some XML, that looks like:
You can see the layers, and choose which one(s) you want to load.
