[R-sig-Geo] Problem reading a HDF5 file with readGDAL in Windows

[Oscar Perpiñan]

Hello,

I am trying to read a HDF5 file whose variable name contains '//'. I have no
problem in a Linux machine, but 'readGDAL' throws an error in Windows. If I
am not wrong, it is because the initialize method of the 'GDALReadOnlyDataset'
class includes a call to 'normalizePath'.

For example, the next code works in Linux but fails in Windows (it uses this
file
ftp://atrain.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/s4pa//OMI/OMCLDO2_CPR.003/2015/125/OMI.L2.CloudOMCLDO2Strip200kmAlongCloudSat.2015.05.05.020752Z.v003.he5
)

x <- readGDAL("HDF5:OMI.L2.CloudOMCLDO2Strip200kmAlongClo
udSat.2015.05.05.020752Z.v003.he5://HDFEOS/SWATHS/
CloudFractionAndPressure/Data_Fields/ChiSquaredOfFit")

Is there any way to circumvent this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Oscar.
