Even,

Still one further point on this matter. This works fine with the 
promised slowness (fair enough)

gdalinfo 
/vsitar/vsicurl/http://edcftp.cr.usgs.gov/pub/data/gtopo30/global/w020n90.tar.gz/W020N90.DEM

but the file name is case dependent. I mean, this doesn't work

gdalinfo 
/vsitar/vsicurl/http://edcftp.cr.usgs.gov/pub/data/gtopo30/global/w020n90.tar.gz/w020n90.dem

I'm not sure what is the right thing to do here but as a Win (and 
occasional Mac or Linus)  user I guess that I was expecting no case 
dependency.
