I am familiarising myself at the moment with the possibility to call spatial boundary files for selected DHS surveys using the API (as described here: https://api.dhsprogram.com/#/api-geometry.cfm).

While this works fabulously for some surveys (eg, the suggested example http://api.dhsprogram.com/rest/dhs/geometry/SN2010DHS works well, both with QGIS as well as with geospatial tools in Stata), many other surveyIds or country codes (eg, BD2014DHS or BD or EG) produce errors with any programme, suggesting there are issues with the geojson. I was wondering if this is a known problem or if I am missing anything?
