Comment (by hellik):

 Replying to [ticket:3364 huhabla]:
 > This is a feature request to add support for zip files and direct URL
 download to r.import and v.import.
 >
 > Zip files may contain a tiff file, shape files or any other zip-
 compressible geodata that can be imported y r.in.gdal and v.in.ogr.
 >
 > Checks for zip-bombs should be included. Nested zip files are not
 supported. Counting of files that are included in the archives must be
 performed. By default, only a single file is supported in the archive,
 with the exception of formats that require multiple files like shape-
 files.
 >
 > The URL support must check if the files are accessible. HTTP, HTTPS and
 FTP requests should be supported as well as authentication and proxy
 configuration. Mimetype check must be performed before the file is
 downloaded by r.import or v.import via the wget command.

 There is a nice gdal Utility: gdal_ls

 {{{
 Project:  GDAL samples
  Purpose:  Display the list of files in a virtual directory, like /vsicurl
 or /vsizip
 }}}
