[COG] Cloud-ready GeoTiff Basic Functionality

[Brian M Hamlin]

Great topic - ready for good discussion here --
 
 For an HTTP-visible GeoTIFF today, is this roughly the idea ?
 
* prepare the GeoTIFF with embedded overviews, for example
  gdaladdo file0.tif  ....  2 4 8 16
 
* process the GeoTIFF to tiled
  gdal_translate -lco TILED=YES -lco COPY_SRC_OVERVIEWS=YES 
-lco COMPRESS=whichever src dst
 
Reliable HTTP client CURL to test byte-range access
 
  curl -v -X GET -H "range: bytes=-11" <file_URL>
 
more?
