[THREDDS #VLL-101822]: WCS GetCoverage Http 400 Bad Request with timeless datasets

Hi Jonathan,

I'm not sure why it would be failing. The log messages aren't giving much of a 
clue. Are there any messages in the catalina.out or localhost-*.log log files 
under ${TOMCAT_HOME}/logs/ (if you are running Tomcat)?

Can you grab the response body that is being sent back? There might be some 
useful information in there.

If none of that looks promising, could you send me your test files so I can try 
them out in the debugger.

Thanks,

Ethan
