Thanks, Roy. Apparently an unencoded ampersand (&) is the problem in the GDS
catalog that is causing the XML parser to fail. However, I notice that adding
/xml or /catalog.xml to any of the GDS datasets sends me back a complete
dataset listing for the entire GDS catalog, not just for the specific dataset I
am interested in (i.e. HYCOM). In reading the GDS User Guide, this is
apparently the expected behavior. Is there no way to access an XML catalog for
a single GDS dataset and then feed this into TDS?
Cheers,
John
