as a QGIS user
I want to use metasearch to discover and access ESRI Mapserver, IMageServer and Feature server service endpoints
So that I can select a search result, click a botton and pass the appropriate details to the QGIS Esri Mapserver and ESRI Feature server dialogues to add layers to my map

Details:
Feature Server Example:

• Given this CSW endpoint: http://csw.open.canada.ca/geonetwork/srv/csw?service=CSW&version=2.0.2&request=GetCapabilities
• Enter it into Metasearch (version 0.3.5)
• Search for: "critical habitat ec"
• Choose a record with ESRI service: "Critical Habitat - Species at risk - Canada"
• duble click record
• Under links notice ESRI links (duplicated): http://ec.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/SpeciesProtectRestore_Canada_CanadianWildlifeService/MapServer/2
• The goal is to have a button titled " ESRI Mapserver" in metasearch that would load this mapserver layer into the map

Image Server example:

• Search for "Redberry Lake Biosphere Reserve"

Feature Server Example:

• No examples within the CSW, however if you can create a static GetCap document that points to these servers you might be able to test that way
