Hi Rich: The problem is that I first have to look to see if its a dods URL, so I do a HEAD request for http://stellwagen.er.usgs.gov/models/gomoos/gomoos_20040329_cf.nc.dds Your server is sending back a redirect (302) message (which redirects to a web page) when (I think) it should be sending back a 404 (not found). Could you ask your web admin if s/he agrees? ------------------------ Live HTTP Header dump: http://stellwagen.er.usgs.gov/models/gomoos/gomoos_20040329_cf.nc.dds GET /models/gomoos/gomoos_20040329_cf.nc.dds HTTP/1.1 Host: stellwagen.er.usgs.gov User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8.0.8) Gecko/20061025 Firefox/1.5.0.8 Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 300 Connection: keep-alive HTTP/1.x 302 Found Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2006 00:48:21 GMT Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0 Location: http://stellwagen.er.usgs.gov/missing.html Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=499 Connection: Keep-Alive Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 ---------------------------------------------------------- http://stellwagen.er.usgs.gov/missing.html GET /missing.html HTTP/1.1 Host: stellwagen.er.usgs.gov User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8.0.8) Gecko/20061025 Firefox/1.5.0.8 Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 300 Connection: keep-alive HTTP/1.x 200 OK Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2006 00:48:22 GMT Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0 Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=499 Connection: Keep-Alive Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html ---------------------------------------------------------- Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: BSD-546165 Department: Support netCDF Java Priority: Normal Status: Open
