[gdal-dev] ogrinfo with remote KML-urls

[Stephan Holl]

Hello,

I am trying to use ogrinfo with a URL to a KML-file. I have compiled gdal 
1.7.1 with libcurl, so it _should_ do that.

The Errormessage is the following:
ogrinfo  "http://mw1.google.com/mw-earth-vectordb/haiti/Haiti-Earthquake-nl.kml"

ERROR 1: GeoJSON parsing error: unexpected character (at offset 0)
ERROR 4: Failed to read GeoJSON data

  -> AVCBin

  -> DXF

  -> GeoRSS
  -> GPSTrackMaker

I am unsure about the GeoJSON-notice since I am trying to use the KML_driver.

Is this a known issue that ogrinfo does not work with remote URLs?

TIA

	Stephan
