I misunderstood that it was outgoing that was the problem. The issue is making sure we set the proper (user,pwd) in Apache HttpClient version 3. Since I had no way to test this case, I left it out until I could find someone to use as a test case; you are it. I will add it and let you know. You may need to pull code from our git repository. Are you ok with that. =Dennis Heimbigner Unidata Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: NXD-157061 Department: Support netCDF Java Priority: Critical Status: Closed
