Is this a known issue that ogrinfo does not work with remote URLs?
Stephan,
I am not aware of any support in OGR for working on remote urls. There is
an http driver in GDAL that sort of supports this for rasters, but I don't
think the same thing exists in OGR.
Frank,
GeoJSON driver can read GeoJSON stream from remote resource.
Obviously, Stephan's URL does not point to GeoJSON file,
but KML, thus it fails.
AFAIK, the KML driver can't read from URL.
Mateusz,
Ah, I did not realize such magic existed in the geojson driver. How does
it decide whether it ought to initate an expensive http request? It
*seems* like a bad idea to embed such behavior in a particular driver.
Best regards,
