[gdal-dev] How do you remove the root AUTHORITY node from a OGRSpatialReferenceH?

[John Hayes]

Hi,
   I need to remove the root AUTHORITY from a OGRSpatialReferenceH object.  I could not find away to do it with the C API.  Am I missing something?

I ended up doing the following:
   OGR_SRSNode *root = static_cast<OGRSpatialReference *>(ref)->GetRoot();
   root->DestroyChild(root->FindChild("AUTHORITY"));

I would prefer to use the C API.  I was hoping something like OSRSetAuthority(ref, targetKey, NULL, 0) could be used.

Thanks,
-john
