I'm currently using gdal version 1.11.2 (also tested this on 2.0.0) to open AWS Landsat-8 data directly from its url.

If I manually test the link in the browser, it works. If I use /vsicurl/ the returned variable is None.

from osgeo import gdal

url = 'http://landsat-pds.s3.amazonaws.com/L8/139/045/LC81390452014295LGN00/LC81390452014295LGN00_B5.TIF'

src = gdal.Open('/vsicurl/%s' %(url))

print src

How can I fix this?

Fixed by downgrading gdal to 1.10.1.

Would be nice to know why /vsicurl/ isnt working in more recent versions of gdal, or perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

  • There is something about AWS in GDAL 2.1 release news: "/vsicurl/: by default do not use HEAD request when detecting a AWS S3 signed URL". Perhaps you should try 2.1 and report the problem to gdal-dev mailing list if it does not work for you. – user30184 Jun 3 '16 at 13:50

GDAL 2.1-dev seems to make a connection:
