[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#611338: ncdump seems to support OpenDAP URI's only up to 55 characters long

[Ivan Shmakov]

Package: netcdf-bin
Version: 1:4.1.1-5

	Apparently, ncdump doesn't support OpenDAP URI's of 56
	characters or more in length.  Consider, e. g.:

$ ncdump -k http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs_hd/gfs_hd20110128/gfs_hd_00z 
ncdump: http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs_hd/gfs_hd20110128/gfs_hd_00z: NetCDF: I/O failure
$ 

	I've checked the proxy logs, and no HTTP request is recorded
	upon the command above.  The behavior is the same should the URI
	be truncated to 56 characters:

$ ncdump -k http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs_hd/gfs_hd20110 
ncdump: http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs_hd/gfs_hd20110: NetCDF: I/O failure
$ 

	On the other hand, the URI's of 55 characters and less are
	handled differently, and the requests are being made:

$ ncdump -k http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs_hd/gfs_hd2011 
ncdump: http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs_hd/gfs_hd2011: NetCDF: DAP server error
$ ncdump -k http://test.opendap.org:8080/dods/dts/test.01 
64-bit offset
