Fixed per https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/7016 However opening time is really slow (which might be a problem or not depending on what you're doing) as the whole file needs to be downloaded and decompressed. The reason is that .hgt files are pure raw data files without any header, so the only way to know the dimensions is to check the file size against 3601*3601*2 bytes (SRTM 3 at low latitudes), 3601*1801*2 (SRTM 3 at high latitudes) or 1801*1801*2 (SRTM 1). But for a .gz file, the only way to get the uncompressed file size is to uncompress it... Even -- Spatialys - Geospatial professional services http://www.spatialys.com
