Bummer. Found the real exception and the source - DODS libraries are
using the commons http client, which requires explicit proxy setting
at an application level (ie proxies must be a supported feature of
DAP). But even when skirting DNS availability using hosts file, we
go from this,

Looking at the source below, it would indeed seem DAP does not
support proxies. This is hard to believe - it's more effective than
any EULA for curtailing commercial use. I'll take my grumbles to the
DAP group I guess... :(
opendap.dap.DConnect2.java:
private void openConnection(String urlString, Command command)
throws IOException, DAP2Exception, ParseException {
initHttpClient();
GetMethod method = new GetMethod(urlString);
method.setFollowRedirects(true);
if (acceptCompress)
method.setRequestHeader(new Header("Accept-Encoding",
"deflate,gzip"));
// enable sessions
if (allowSessions)
method.setRequestHeader(new Header("X-Accept-Session", "true"));
InputStream is = null;
try {
// Execute the method.
int statusCode = _httpClient.executeMethod(method);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

IDV seems to be having trouble with our http proxy (squid). I've
set the following global parameters in runIDV.bat in the usual way;
-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxyhost -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128
however IDV fails to retrieve any data in the Data Chooser. See
traceback below. Could it have something to do with IDV insisting
DODS URI's begin with dods:// perhaps? What is the recommended
solution for using a http proxy?
By the way, I can navigate the server in the "Display" / web
browsing tab. It's only the Data Chooser that fails.
Thanks, Nick
