Buz, 

SRTM is a data product.  What format is it distributed in?  I have most
often seen it distributed as raw binaries files with a particular naming
conventions, and in some cases associated ascii header files (.ers
in one case I have noticed). 

GDAL doesn't have any specific support for the SRTM naming
convention and only supports the raw files if they have a supported
header format (the ers files don't work as I recall).   

Best regards,
