Hi John,

I’m encountering an issue (I believe) with the TDS DodsC servlet and filenames having a colon ( : ) in them. The error message I’m getting (from both IDV and NetCDFTools) is:

NetcdfDataset.open – cant open http://lead2.unidata.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/dodsC/misc/LEAD/TDR/fcd4e29f-227f-46a2-b5ff-1af2a6b47025/wrfout_d01_2006-07-14_00:00:00.nc <http://lead2.unidata.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/dodsC/misc/LEAD/TDR/fcd4e29f-227f-46a2-b5ff-1af2a6b47025/wrfout_d01_2006-07-14_00:00:00.nc.html> or as dods://lead2.unidata.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/dodsC/misc/LEAD/TDR/fcd4e29f-227f-46a2-b5ff-1af2a6b47025/wrfout_d01_2006-07-14_00:00:00.nc <http://lead2.unidata.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/dodsC/misc/LEAD/TDR/fcd4e29f-227f-46a2-b5ff-1af2a6b47025/wrfout_d01_2006-07-14_00:00:00.nc.html>

Encountered “:” at line 120, column 84.

Was expecting:

“;” …

Is this a known correctable bug in NetcdfDataset.open or is it just the case that I need to get the names changed to remove the colons?

Thanks,

Tom.
