Warning: This PR is a follow on to PR https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/2555 and should not be merged until that prior PR has been merged. The changeset for this PR is a delta on the PR https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/2555. This PR re-enables the use of the server *remotetest.unidata.ucar.edu/d4ts* to test several features: 1. Show that access over the Internet to servers using the DAP4 protocol works. 2. Test that DAP4 support in the [Thredds Data Server](https://github.com/Unidata/tds) is operating correctly. 4. Test that the DAP4 support in the [netcdf-java library](https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-java) library and the DAP4 support in the netcdf-c library are consistent and are interoperable. The test inputs (primarily *\*.nc* files) provided in the netcdf-c library are also used by the DAP4 Test Server (aka d4ts) to present web access to a collection of data files accessible via the DAP4 protocol and which can be used for testing Internet access to a working server. To be precise, this version of d4ts is currently in unmerged branches of the *netcdf-java* and *tds* Github repositories and so are not actually in the main repositories *yet*. However, the *d4ts.war* file was created from that branch and used to populate the *remotetest.unidata.ucar.edu* server The two other remote servers that were used in the past are *Hyrax* (OPenDAP.org) and *thredds-test*. These will continue to remain disabled until those servers can be fixed. ## Primary Changes * Rebuild the *baselineremote* directory. This directory contains the validation data needed to test the remote servers. * Re-enable using remotetest.unidata.ucar.edu as part of the DAP4 testing process. * Fix the *dap4_test/test_remote.sh* test script to match the current available test data. * Make some changes to libdap4 to improve the ability to catch malformed data streams [affects a lot of files in libdap4]. ## Misc. Unrelated Changes * Remove a raft of warnings, especially in nc_test4/tst_quantize.c. * Add some additional explanatory information to the NCZarr documentation. * Cleanup some Doxygen errors in the docs file and reorder some files. |

Unidata NetCDF
About
The Unidata network Common Data Form (netCDF) is an interface for scientific data access and a freely-distributed software library that provides an implementation of the interface. The netCDF library also defines a machine-independent format for representing scientific data. Together, the interface, library, and format support the creation, access, and sharing of scientific data. The current netCDF software provides C interfaces for applications and data. Separate software distributions available from Unidata provide Java, Fortran, Python, and C++ interfaces. They have been tested on various common platforms.
Properties
NetCDF files are self-describing, network-transparent, directly
accessible, and extendible. Self-describing means that a netCDF file
includes information about the data it contains. Network-transparent
means that a netCDF file is represented in a form that can be accessed
by computers with different ways of storing integers, characters, and
floating-point numbers. Direct-access means that a small subset of a
large dataset may be accessed efficiently, without first reading through
all the preceding data. Extendible means that data can be appended to
a netCDF dataset without copying it or redefining its structure.
Use
NetCDF is useful for supporting access to diverse kinds of scientific data in heterogeneous networking environments and for writing application software that does not depend on application-specific formats. For information about a variety of analysis and display packages that have been developed to analyze and display data in netCDF form, see
