[THREDDS #CEF-295275]: WMS 1.3 Black image return

Greetings!

As far as I can tell, this appears to be due to a change in the EPSG database 
conventions used in WMS 1.3 (related to the order of latitude / longitude
coordinates). See the response by Jon Blower, the lead developer of ncWMS,
to a similar issue:

https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/archives/thredds/2013/msg00171.html

If I edit the 1.3 request to use CRS:84, I get an image:

http://dap.saeon.ac.za/thredds/wms/SAEON.SAWS/fig9c.nc?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetMap&layers=tas&styles=boxfill/rainbow&bbox=13.199999809265137,-35.63999938964844,34.7599983215332,-20.239999771118164&width=768&height=552&crs=CRS:84&format=image/png&ELEVATION=0

If I add back in a color range similar to the 1.1 request, then things match
up as expected:

http://dap.saeon.ac.za/thredds/wms/SAEON.SAWS/fig9c.nc?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetMap&layers=tas&TRANSPARENT=true&STYLES=boxfill/rainbow&COLORSCALERANGE=0,5&NUMCOLORBANDS=20&bbox=13.199999809265137,-35.63999938964844,34.7599983215332,-20.239999771118164&width=768&height=552&crs=CRS:84&format=image/png&ELEVATION=0

Cheers,

Sean
