[THREDDS #GJH-604074]: Error encountered when trying to retrieve netcdf file using WCS URI in "ToolsUI Viewer" panel

Hi Leakha,

There is no WCS client functionality in the ToolsUI. The ToolsUI can read 
netCDF files in a number of ways: 1) as a local file; 2) over HTTP  with byte 
range requests; 3) using the OPeNDAP protocol. You could use WCS requests in a 
browser to download the file to disk and then point ToolsUI at the local file. 
But it does not know how to deal with a full netCDF file coming at it as an 
HTTP response.
