Hello Mateusz, Frank, thanks for your elaborated answers. This confirmes what I thought.
So the changes Frank suggested in this thread seem to work also for
KML when it will be done in a future release of gdal. In the meanwhile I
will wrap the ogr-call in a wrapper who does the curl-stuff.
If you decide to change it like Frank proposed I would be happy to get
CCed to the related ticket.
Thanks for your help!
Stephan
