<p>Let me see if I can break it on my end. It's opening for me

<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>

<div>I am on ubuntu 16.04 and I am unable to do

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>
<br>
