Oh yeah - it was completely working. I haven't tried it since the
upgrade to 2.2 on Ubuntu. That's why I ran through all the variations:
windows/linux/etc to make sure it wasn't one thing vs something else. It
seems ultimately to be a gdal thing since it failed on linux and
windows. Linux was a bit more extreme with the segmentation fault.
Anyway - I'm hoping it's me - but I don't think so.....

Randy,
So it was working at some point? Is it possible the service has changed?
Thanks,

No worries at all!
I just need to figure out why it stopped working.

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.

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,
