/vsistdin/ is only meant for format whose reading is compatible of a
streamed reading, that is you read bytes as they come from stdin. Which
is only a subset of formats, and PDF is not in that subset (typically
the cross reference table to objects is always put at the end of the
file, hence the Seek(SEEK_END error you get). The 1 MB limit corresponds
to the amount of data that is cached at the beginning of the file (this
helps for drivers that do almost streamed reading, but do some backward
seeks in their header part). Beyond that, /vsimem/ doesn't buffer
anything, so if the driver tries to seek back, that fails. This 1MB
limit could potentially be changed to be runtime configured, but that's
not the case currently.

Hi there,
I've got a PDF geo-referencing implementation in place which makes use of
the gdal_translate utility. Recently I've been testing out and
implementation to read in the input content from standard input stream using
the /vsistdin/ handler.
According to the documentation for /vsistdin/ handler - "Full seek in the
first MB of a file is possible" and I've encountered the following error(s)
when the content I've attempted to pipe in is greater than 1MB.
ERROR 6: Seek(SEEK_END) unsupported on /vsistdin when stdin > 1 MB
ERROR 6: backward Seek() unsupported on /vsistdin above first MB
Would this be a hard limit of 1MB placed the content size which can be piped
in via /vsistdin/(the source code and the error message suggests it migh me)
or can it be configured? Has anyone encountered this before?
Any suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks.
