Cannot add a remote PMTile

[frafra]

Feature description

I tried to add a PMTile file available over HTTP, but it does not seem possible in QGIS, since it says that the source is invalid or not recognized. Opening a remote GPKG works as expected.

Additional context

I tried to add the layer manually, using the Python console, without success:

v = QgsVectorLayer("/vsicurl/https://pycsw.nina.no/media/maps/sources/30/02_Fritidsbebyggelse.pmtiles", "layer", "ogr")
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(v)

I also wonder if there is a simpler way to open generic gdal/ogr resources, by taking advantage of the wide range of supported formats as well as VFS.

From the gdal documentation it looks like you need gdal >3.8 for this

Please check what gdal version you are running qgis with

You are right indeed :)

Using QGIS 3.38.3 and GDAL 3.9.2 this does not work well for me given @frafra 's example. QGIS doesn't complain but it's working very hard on a seemingly small problem...
