[gdal-dev] ogrinfo with remote KML-urls

[Stephan Holl]

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
