Charlie,
For clarification, are these remote NetCDF files that you want to
visualize accessible via OPeNDAP or just HTTP?
If just HTTP, do you need the web client to be able to subset them
using byte-range requests like netCDF-Java does
(like this:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/thredds/current/netcdf-java/reference/HTTPservice.html)
?
