[OSGeo Africa] Adding ESRI's Online World Imagery Dataset to QGIS

[E. Ndava]

No Solution from me. But am also getting an error:

Error details:

GDAL provider: Cannot open GDAL dataset
http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer?f=json&pretty=true:
couldn't connect to host

Raster layer: Provider is not valid (provider: gdal, URI:
http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer?f=json&pretty=true


Using QGIS 2.4.0-Chugiak, portable version.
