Hi Randy, I'm really sorry and little embarrassed for my previous post. You sure noticed that I don't have much knowledge in arcgis rest services and especially in using those with gdal.
In this case that json isn't a vector data. It is actually a description of a raster service and therefore should be accetable for gdal. This was totally my mistake. -Lauri On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 7:28 PM, Alex Mandel <tech_...@wildintellect.com>wrote: > I wouldn't get on his case too hard he's following: > http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/Arcgis_rest > > There's probably some clues in: > > http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-api/index.html#/The_ArcGIS_REST_API/02r300000054000000/ > > I think other workarounds could be to pull the layers in the OpenLayers > plugin. > > Thanks, > Alex > > On 03/13/2014 09:50 AM, Lauri Kajan wrote: > > Hi Randy, > > > > You are requesting json format from arcgisonline.
