[gdal-dev] GDAL spatial reference issue

[Murali Krishna]

Frank,

I don't have access to ESRI WKT. I was given the following
SpatialReference information by ArcGIS Feature Server when i query for a
layer schema:

"spatialReference" : {
      "wkid" : 102100,
      "latestWkid" : 3857
    }
So from the above "wkid" i need to create a shape file. Is there any way of
doing this in GDAL.

Regards

Murali
