Of course, this is kind of the point of CSW, WCS and WFS standards. And we really should encourage the use of standards. This idea is similar to the getData function of the Raster package in R: http://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/raster/functions/getData Which does include the 90m SRTM already processed (CGIAR version http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/) I'd be interested in moving this discussion to the developer list and participating. I'm involved with the management of the data for the above mentioned R function.

Did the plugin do 30m or 90m SRTM? I have everything that's been released for 30m on my university servers, just haven't gotten around to setting up the WCS on top of it. Once that's done, a redo of such a plugin should be quite easy. For 90m DEM there actually quite a few easily accessible variants of it around the web that could be scripted against. Though I think you'd need to use a tile index to pull the needed tiles, and then cut to canvas.

[Qgis-user] SRTM-plug-in?
Hi, there once was a plug-in in the repository, that downloaded SRTM-DEM data for your canvas area. This was a quite convenient function. The "normal" way to find the websites, browse through clunky dialogs etc. and then download sth which then maybe has to be stitched together to be usable is not so nice. Does anyone has an idea where this plug-in came from and where it went to? Were there some legal issues, or hasn't it just been updated and got deprecated? I would really like to see such a function come back into QGIS, especially in combination with the QGIS2threejs-plug-in, it would give the opportunity to create quick 3D-visualizations of your area.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Hallo all, anyway the "Retrieve SRTM DEM data" tool of the (very versatile) Whitebox GAT http://www.uoguelph.ca/~hydrogeo/Whitebox/ software has it, with options to mosaic and data hole filling, see notes to the module with Python and Groovy script examples. Both resolutions are supported.
