[Qgis-developer] REST services

[G. Allegri]

I've given a look to the qgisrest plugin. When a text/plain response
is given it tries to parse it as GeoJSON. Arcgis doesn't follow this
standard, that's why you won't be able to use the returned object.
Anyway, you could easily add support for it, implementing your own
Format for qgisrest [1]

> As you know rest services are generics, and the semantics of arcgis

> The arcgis rest services also permit to request an image response. The
> same as above, it doesn't follow any standard format, so the answer
> (afaik) is no, you can't load arcgis rest services response (neither
> vectors nor images) on Qgis.
