I'm trying to get a public WFS into my QGIS Desktop (2.18.13) on Windows, so I tried adding an ArcGIS-FeatureServer-Layer and get the promtprompt:

"Couldn't load service properties: :"

Couldn't load service properties: :

I noticed, that QGIS is cutting off the URL imI'm trying to use:

http://geodienste-umwelt.hessen.de/arcgis/services/inspire/gewaessernetz/MapServer/WFSServer?&request=GetCapabilities&VERSION=1.1.0&SERVICE=WFS

is cut off to:

http://geodienste-umwelt.hessen.de/arcgis/services/inspire/gewaessernetz/MapServer/WFSServer?VERSION=1.1.0&

If I paste the URL in my Browser, it seems okay, but:

  1. Is QGIS really cutting off URLs?
  2. Is there a way to shorten the URL? (I'm thinking of my Windows Host file or a similar solution)
