opendap files accessed by http but not by https

Added by emanuele lombardi over 10 years ago

Good morning from Italy.

I found a small problem in cdo 1.6.4rc4
At beginning cdo could not access any opendap file, but I overcome this adding "-DHAVE_LIBNC_DAP" to CFLAGS in configure.

./configure --with-jasper --with-proj --with-netcdf --with-hdf5 --with-szlib --with-udunits2 -with-grib_api --with-magics=/usr/local --with-libxml2 CC=icc LIBS
=-lstdc++ CFLAGS=-fPIC -DHAVE_LIBNC_DAP

Now my cdo accesses opendap files but only when using http protocol, not https.
It's a pity because I need my THREDDS server to use SSL port 8290.

In the following example (you cat test it by yourself) we see that:
1) cdo succesfully accesses an opendap file by http
2) cdo fails accessing the same opendap file by https
3) ncdump succesfully accesses the same opendap file using https

======================== CDO on HTTP === OK

RE: opendap files accessed by http but not by https - Added by Uwe Schulzweida over 10 years ago

Hi Emanuele,

I have added the OPeNDAP https support to the next CDO release. A prerelease with this update is available in https://code.zmaw.de/projects/cdo/files.

CDO uses 'nc-config --has-dap' to check whether OPeNDAP is enabled in the netCDF library. Which version of nc-config is used depends on the --with-netcdf flag. Default is the version found from the PATH variable.

Cheers, Uwe

It works perfectely with 1.6.4rc6 , I also tested providing password in the URL.
Thanks a lot!
