Hi,

I'd like to read an OpenFileGDB directly with ogr via /vsicurl//vsizip, but the file is named <file>.zip
Is there a config option I'm missing that will tell ogr that this is a valid zipped OpenFileGDB, or do I have to rename the file?

$ ogrinfo /vsizip//vsicurl/https://maps.kamloops.ca/OpenData/zipfiles/ParksGDB.zip
ERROR 4: `/vsizip//vsicurl/https://maps.kamloops.ca/OpenData/zipfiles/ParksGDB.zip' not recognized as being in a supported file format.
ogrinfo failed - unable to open '/vsizip//vsicurl/https://maps.kamloops.ca/OpenData/zipfiles/ParksGDB.zip'.

$ curl -o Parks.gdb.zip https://maps.kamloops.ca/OpenData/zipfiles/ParksGDB.zip
$ ogrinfo Parks.gdb.zip
INFO: Open of `Parks.gdb.zip'
      using driver `OpenFileGDB' successful.

thanks!
Simon
