Bug#690884: qgis fails to access HDF-EOS datasets directly

[Sebastiaan Couwenberg]

Hi Ivan,

I've tried to reproduce your problem with QGIS 2.0.1, but I'm not able
to download the HDF file.

ftp://e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov/MODIS_Composites/MOTA/MCD12Q1.005/2008.01.01/MCD12Q1.A2008001.h22v03.005.2011215183430.hdf

The FTP server claims to allow anonymous access with an email address as
password, but refuses login when done so.

Is there some HDF file publicly available with which I can reproduce
your problem?

If you don't mind building QGIS yourself, you can try building QGIS
2.0.1 from the pkg-grass git to see if it fixes your problem:

Kind Regards,

Bas
