Rich-
The netcdf-java code <i>currently<i>
assumes that the url is unencoded
at the point it is given to NetcdfDataset.

If you unencode that url and try it,
it works ; well almost, there is
an array size mismatch error but that
is separate from the encoding issue.

Frankly,  I never envisioned such a
weird url as yours (in unencoded form):
http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/thredds/dodsC/hfrnet/agg/6km_expr_{}{letdeq1 
ubar=u[d=1,l=1:24@ave]}

In my opinion, Ferret is seriously abusing the url format
and such a query should have been in the
actual query part of a url (i.e. after the '?'), but
so be it.

John- any comment on this? Do we need to revisit our encoding
rules?
