[OSM-newbies] JOSM, WMS plugin not working

[Thorir Jonsson]

Hi, I'm having some problems getting the WMS plugin to work.

Downloading Landsat images works fine, but OpenAerialMap and Yahoo! don't work.

Selecting OpenAerialMap only gives me red exception occurred tiles
while selecting Yahoo! gets me nothing.

The terminal output when trying to download the OAM tiles seems to
indicate a server error:

java.lang.Exception: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL:
http://openaerialmap.org/wms/?VERSION=1.0&request=GetMap&layers=world&styles=&srs=EPSG:4326&format=image/jpeg&bbox=12.6210659,55.6178058,12.6343653,55.6311052&width=500&height=500
Image couldn't be fetched:

but the Yahoo! output is not as clear:

WMS::Browsing YAHOO: [gnome-web-photo-fixed,

im == null!

This keeps scrolling in the terminal window untill I delete the Yahoo!
layer.  It's as if though the plugin is requesting these three tiles
over and over again.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04
