Hi guys,I have this weird problem where I can get use thredds to display the .dds .das and .info for a NetCDF URL, but when it comes to clicking on "Data Request Form" my browser displays the following error :
Error { code = 5; message = "Encountered '=' at line 58, column 9. Was expecting: ';' ... "; };
I have included the relevant section from the server logs at the end of this message. I can't work out what the error is telling me. My gut feeling is that maybe the unusual filename is using some reserved characters that the parser can't handle, but that's just a guess. Does anyone know if this error related to java code, or the structure of a netCDF file, or the filename or what? To what is "line 58, column 9" referring - the .java file, the netCDF file, or something else entirely?
