There is, unfortunately, no easy fix for this. I am going to have to think about the right way to solve it. One thing I could do is add openid support. However, I am not real familiar with it. If you can figure out how to get curl to use openid, then I could incorporate that code. =Dennis Heimbigner Unidata Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: KMS-124565 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Critical Status: Closed
