Hi, here's how to reproduce it in qgis master:

• Add this WMS server to browser: http://webapps.comune.trento.it/ogc
• Add any WMS layer
• See the error in message log. FORMAT value is empty.

If you add it with the normal menu Layer->Add WMS, it works perfectly.

The GetCapabilities "response":http://webapps.comune.trento.it/ogc?SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities is apparently flawed (and invalid). It doesn't list the @getmap@ request and in turn there are no formats for @getmap@.

$ xmlpatternsvalidator-qt4 "http://webapps.comune.trento.it/ogc?SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities"
Error XSDError in http://webapps.comune.trento.it/ogc?SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities, at line 31, column 126: Element {http://www.opengis.net/wms}Request is missing child element.

Thank you for your good response.

We discovered that in our mapserver mapfile, the wms_enable_request in the WEB section was absent.

Closing as WORKSFORME.
