Just testing the server with a browser:

1. 
https://dpg-ingest.dpg.army.mil/thredds/dodsC/nam/20100310_1800_mesoEta_212_33.grib.dds
2. https handshake - self-signed server certificate
3. no authentication challenge

My guess is HttpClient wont allow self-signed certificates - i will investigate.

However, the lack of an authentication challenge seems to imply the server is 
misconfigured. why would you do http without authentication? Hank, are you 
administering this server? Is that your intention?
