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"
Jennifer Adams has requested a reversion in behavior so that
all dap requests include a constraint.
Problem is caused by change in prefetch where if all variables
are requested, then no constraint is generated.
Fix is to always generate a constraint in prefetch.
re: e support ZCL-340681 and CPW-270700
HDF4 supports compression (and chunking)
but the chunking was not being recorded
for HDF4 files. So, I modified the necessary
files to support HDF4 chunking.
using cygwin64 causes a couple of bugs during make check.
Fixes are as follows:
1. in ncdump.c and nccopy.c change all occurrences of
'return EXIT_FAILURE'
and
'return EXIT_SUCCESS'
with
exit(EXIT_FAILURE)
and
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS)
respectively.
I have no idea why this works.
2. in libdap2/ncdap3a.c#freeNCDAPCOMMON,
remove the call to nc_abort, it is
causing a loop; not sure why this
is not caught under other operating systems.
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.
The code that tests if a path is a url is
faulting when the url does not end in a slash
(e.g. http://thredds-tests.ucar.edu).

Solution was to do a null pointer test.
Added a test (tst_misc).
