Hi John, I am operationally reading GFS 0.5deg data from the NOMADS-HD server via DODS and the Java/NetCDF library. I did not change anything in my code during the last couple of months, but recently (for instance the last 20 hours) there have been some errors reading data from there (see the protocol below). I think I remember that there was a similar problem last fall, and the reason was a change in some security or firewall setting on NOMADS, just concerning this protocol. Do you know what the reason for the messages can be or who might be responsible?
