Selon Livneh Yehiyam ye...@rafael.co.il: Perhaps GDAL_PROXY? This is a possibility, although there's already a GDALProxyDataset class in GDAL, subclassed by GDALProxyPoolDataset, that is used internally by some drivers (VRT, RPFTOC) that want to proxy the access to underlying datasets without

GDAL_API_RPC GDAL_API_PROXY GDAL_API_SERVER IIUC, the proposed functionality is not really a Remote Procedure Call, or a Proxy, or a SErver. i.e. could the driver be run on a remote server with this mechanism? Rather, it is a way to run a driver in a sub-process. So maybe: DGAL_SUBPROCESS

Hi, Just to inform you that I've just commited in trunk a new feature. See http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/4979 : When dealing with some file formats, particularly the drivers relying on third- party (potentially closed-source) libraries, it is difficult to ensure that those third-party

Even, This sounds great. I'm guessing RPC in this context stands for Remote Procedure Call. It seems like this could potentially lead to some confusion with existing GDAL functionality (e.g., gdal_rpc.cpp) and options (e.g. RPC_DEM) where RPC stands for Rational Polynomial Coefficients used
