User request to have all orphaned DAP2 attributes kept as netcdf
global attributes. This is primarily a change in the oc code
nplus testcase dataset changes.
Result may be inconsistent with netcdf-Java output.
Their is an ambiguity in the DAP2 spec. Section A.2 of the
dap2 spec says:
"...The backslash character (.\.) MAY be used as
a single-character quoting mechanism only within
quoted-string and comment constructs.
quoted-pair = "\" CHAR
..."
The underlying problem was to allow for " chars inside
strings by using \". However, this definition is overbroad.
It is not stated:
1. if the backslash is to be left in the string or not.
2. There is also an unstated, but related issue of what
to do about e.g. '\n';convert to newline or not.
This change is to conform to libdap and it does the following:
1. The backslash is left in the string
2. Things like \n are left as is and it is assumed that
higher level code will decide what to do with e.g. \n.
It appears the problem is that synth9 was erroneously
included in testing. It involves a nested sequence which
is not translatable. Not sure why it was still there,
but fix is to suppress the test.
DAPRCFILE. Note that the value of this environment
variable should be the absolute path of the rc file, not
the path to its containing directory.
2. fixup testauth.sh and add some new tests
3. synch oc
2. modify oc2/ocrc.c rcfilenames to look for .ocrc before .dodsrc.
3. Modify testauth.sh to avoid using names that might already
exist for cookies file and netrc file. Still must use .ocrc
to test for local/home search.
4. Modify testauth.sh to save and restore any file it creates
that already exists.
This supports better authorization
handling for DAP requests, especially redirection
based authorization. I also added a new test case
ncdap_tests/testauth.sh.
Specifically, suppose I have a netrc file /tmp/netrc
containing this.
machine uat.urs.earthdata.nasa.gov login xxxxxx password yyyyyy
Also suppose I have a .ocrc file containing these lines
HTTP.COOKIEJAR=/tmp/cookies
HTTP.NETRC=/tmp/netrc
Assume that .ocrc is in the local directory or HOME.
Then this command should work (assuming a valid login and password).
ncdump -h "https://54.86.135.31/opendap/data/nc/fnoc1.nc"
When a .dodsrc file is present, and
specifies user name and password,
it is being ignored after the first time.
Fix required a major rewrite of ocrc.c because
it was mishandling a number of .dodsrc entries.
should be under ENABLE_DAP_REMOTE_TESTS.
Fixed to make sure that this is so.
Also attempted to fix ncdap_test/CMakeLists.txt,
but probably got it wrong.
HT to Nico Schlomer.
2. Attempted to reduce the number of conversion errors
when -Wconversion is set. Fixed oc2, but
rest of netcdf remains to be done.
HT to Nico Schlomer.
3. When doing #2, I discovered an error in ncgen.y
that has remained hidden. This required some other
test case fixes.
Some servers do not properly
implement the current DAP2 spec.
It turns out that this server is one of those:
http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/
When a reference such as this is made:
http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gens/gens20140123/gep_all_12z?prmslmsl[0][0][0][0:359]
tt is returning this:
Dataset {
float prmslmsl[ens=1][time=1][lat=1][lon=360];
} gens%2fgens20140123%2fgep_all_12z;
when it should be returning this:
Dataset {
Structure {
float prmslmsl[ens=1][time=1][lat=1][lon=360];
} prmslmsl;
} gens%2fgens20140123%2fgep_all_12z;
The reason is that when picking fields out of a grid,
one must maintain the fully qualified name, so the grid
is converted to an enclosing structure.
It turns out that the problem was that
when I create the new structure node, I was
improperly linking it into the existing graph.
This caused a null pointer failure.
Fix is to make sure the relevant field (node->root)
is set.
error occurs after an "exit:" label.
Corrected a dozen Coverity errors (mainly allocation issues, along with a few
other things):
711711, 711802, 711803, 711905, 970825, 996123, 996124, 1025787,
1047274, 1130013, 1130014, 1139538
Refactored internal fill-value code to correctly handle string types, and
especially to allow NULL pointers and null strings (ie. "") to be
distinguished. The code now avoids partially aliasing the two together
(which only happened on the 'write' side of things and wasn't reflected on
the 'read' side, adding to the previous confusion).
Probably still weak on handling fill-values of variable-length and compound
datatypes.
Refactored the recursive metadata reads a bit more, to process HDF5 named
datatypes and datasets immediately, avoiding chewing up memory for those
types of objects, etc.
Finished uncommenting and updating the nc_test4/tst_fills2.c code (as I'm
proceeding alphabetically through the nc_test4 code files).
