    <p>Let me see if I can break it on my end. It's opening for me
      ....and I just opened it with a random win protocol I just picked.
      <br>
    </p>
    <p>Lemme do some digging - I'm not entirely sure why yours isn't
      opening. I'm running xubuntu 16.04 and qgis 2.18.1 and it works. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Are you in a Virtual Machine or installed on a computer? This is
      going to sound stupid but is your networking up? Can you ping
      something on the outside world. I just turned networking off and
      got the same error. I'm hoping you're about to save you're in a VM
      and maybe the networking is being weird. <br>

                      I am told by my QGIS installation of 2.18 on
                      Ubuntu 16.04 that it is not a valid source. 
                      Anyone else have this problem and/or can get it to
                      work?  <br>
                      <br>
                      1) add vector<br>
                      2) change source type to protocol<br>
                      3) encoding is set to win 1532<br>
                      4) protocal type geojson <br>
                      5)geoson feed url<br>
