[THREDDS #SYP-673547]: thredds service type?

Hi Chris,

It looks like the serviceName "all" is set to serve out catalogs:

<service name="all" serviceType="Catalog" base=""/>

Change that line in your catalog.xml to

<service name="all" serviceType="HTTPServer" base=""/>

If that works, you should change the name="all" to name="http", and then all of 
the references to all to html in your catalog.xml, just to keep things clear.

Cheers,

Sean
