I can see using Charles network proxy that my WMS GetCapabilities request is using version 1.3.0.

The WMS server I'm talking to, requires 1.1.1.

The AGSWMSLayer.version property is read-only.

How do I change the version?

thanks in advance!

Hi Chris,

Based on the WMS standard documentation said: 

"A WMS client may negotiate with a server to determine a mutually agreeable protocol version. Negotiation isperformed using the GetCapabilities operation according to the following rules.

A WMS client may negotiate with a server to determine a mutually agreeable protocol version. Negotiation is performed using the GetCapabilities operation (described in 7.2) according to the following rules. All service metadata shall include a protocol version number and shall comply with the XML DTD or Schema defined for that version. In response to a GetCapabilities request (for which the VERSION parameter is optional) that does not specify a version number, the server shall respond with the highest version it supports. In response to a GetCapabilities request containing a version number that the server implements, the server shall send that version.

For more details, you can check this documentation and search "Version number negotiation"

You can try to define the specific the parameters of a WMS GetCapabilities through request URL, if that WMS Layer allow you to do so, for example:
