It's not -- it's only "like" an ArcGIS rest server in that it returns json :P

This isn't a trivial change, and would require some time to develop. I
can confidently state it won't be implemented by any of the current
QGIS core developers without financial sponsorship. Bayu -- if you
have a strong need to access these servers through QGIS, your best
approach is to either fund this work or develop it yourself. If you go
with the "develop it yourself" approach, you'll find that the QGIS
developers are very helpful and willing to assist, so long as you show
some initiative in learning QGIS development practices, the QGIS API,
and show a commitment to maintain your code!

Kind regards,
Nyall
