Hi Thomas, Which QGIS version are you trying?
With me for example if I run 3.10 I I go to the WMS-dialog and push the button there, I see in (I have a debug build on Linux) in the log output: Trying to open help using key 'working_with_ogc/ogc_client_support.html'. Full URI is 'https://docs.qgis.org/3.10/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/ogc_client_support.html'… 3.12 shows: Trying to open help using key 'working_with_ogc/ogc_client_support.html'. Full URI is 'https://docs.qgis.org/3.12/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/ogc_client_support.html'… And those are then (serverside) being redirected to 'testing': https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/ogc_client_support.html Code for this is around here: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/gui/qgshelp.cpp#L81-L178 It tests if it is a valid url en and then uses Qt-Desktop-services tools to open it: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/gui/qgshelp.cpp#L38 You should be able to test this in the Python console: QDesktopServices.openUrl(QUrl('https://docs.qgis.org/3.12/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/ogc_client_support.html')) Is that opening you browser with: https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/ogc_client_support.html ? Because this is vanilla Qt, I would think that it will use your proxy settings... It is NOT using/going through QNetworkAccessManager, so the Network Logging plugin will not pick it up.
