Hi John,

I'm opening an existing catalog and adding a new dataset (i.e., adding it right in, not a catref). Should I be able to add a service to that catalog as well? In an arbitrary order?

you may need to add the service elements before you construct the dataset that 
uses them.

adding the dataset to the catalog, but not the additional service element and it's components are not showing up. There's some [prototype-quality] code below.

Also, could you point me to the few lines of code that make an http call that you were referring to in our meeting yesterday? I searched for httpget and found thredds.util.net.EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory, but that doesn't look right. Would you point me to the right code?

have a look at thredds.util.IO.readURLtoFileWithExceptions()
