[THREDDS #PEY-346018]: error on remote catalog

OK.

Nothing new. I still think it should work on an appropriate, old OPeNDAP server 
but I haven't had a chance to test it.

OK

> 
> <catalogRef xlink:href="http://thredds.itc.nl:8180/thredds/catalog.html";
> xlink:title="ITC Data Server" name=""/>
> 
> <catalogRef xlink:href="http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/catalog.html";
> xlink:title="UNIDATA Data Server" name=""/>
> 
> In both of the xlink:href values you need to change ".html" to ".xml". The

> 
> Exception= java.io.IOException Server returned HTTP response code: 503 for 
> URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd
> 
> Which is the XML validation choking on the HTML document.
> 
> Your exception message is "java.net.UnknownHostException motherlode.ucar.edu" 
> which makes me wonder if the DNS on your server isn't able to resolve 
> motherlode.ucar.edu. Can you try a host lookup of motherlode.ucar.edu on your 
> server?
