Hi Jeff, yes that solved it, thank you.
I should have pointed out that my older config was using standalone
Tomcat. Our web server changed to Apache with Tomcat behind it (using
mod_jk for comms). I added this
<Location "/uwme/netcdf/*">
Header set Accept-Ranges bytes
</Location>
to my jk.conf file and bounced Apache and IDV loaded the nc file over
http just great.
I actually was a bit puzzled that, even though I 'forward' all
requests matching a certain url pattern, in my case '/uwme/*" over to
Tomcat, I still needed the Apache tweak above. Perhaps Tomcat was
generating the header but then Apache was dropping it?
Thanks again
Stuart

Hi Stuart,
In the past I have used IDV to load and view data from a netcdf
file (CF-compliant) accessed over http (I use Tomcat as the web
server, not that that should matter). this is NOT an opendap
server in any way.
Now, in IDV 2.4, this is failing. I get this error:
java.io.IOException: Server does not support byte Ranges
This is probably a http server configuration. To access netcdf files
via http you need to have byte ranges turned on on your server:
