RE: FW: Java Error

Hi John

I am using NETCDF JAVA 4.0.31

Down loaded live headers - very handy!

It says Accept-Ranges: none
see below?

I tried it for a file hosted locally on our thredds server and it works
fine - Accept-Ranges: bytes. If we suspect it is an intermediary and we
would like to start complaining to our service provider, can I send them
this - will they laugh at me? Is there something more specific I can ask
them about?

Thank you for your help John!

David

1) What version of netcdf-java library? An older version requires
Accept-Ranges header, latest
version (4.0.31) will tolerate not seeing it.

2) I have seen a previous case where some intermediary was stripping
HTTP headers (!) You might test
in the following way:

1. Add Live HTTP Headers plug-in to Firefox.

2. Try the URL in firefox:
http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/fileServer/fmrc/NCEP/NAM/Alaska_
11km/files/NAM_Alaska_11km_20090204_1200.grib2

You should get something the following in the Live Headers window:

http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/fileServer/fmrc/NCEP/NAM/Alaska_
11km/files/NAM_Alaska_11km_20090204_1200.grib2

GET

0204_1200.grib2 HTTP/1.1

In particular you should see

  Accept-Ranges: bytes
