Simon,
I think you just don't have your syntax quite right -- you need to
specify "coverage=tas".
So instead of this:
http://localhost:8080/thredds/wcs/smwtestwcs/chess_tas_196101_modified.nc?service=WCS&version=1.0.0&request=GetCoverage=tas&time=1961-01-31T00:00:00Z&format=GeoTIFF
Try this:
http://localhost:8080/thredds/wcs/smwtestwcs/chess_tas_196101_modified.nc?service=WCS&version=1.0.0&request=GetCoverage&coverage=tas&time=1961-01-31T00:00:00Z&format=GeoTIFF
Just to see if there was some issue with the latest release, I tried a
WCS GetCoverage request on our TDS 4.6.3 server and it seems okay:
wget -O test.tif
"http://geoport-dev.whoi.edu/thredds/wcs/bathy/gom03_v10?request=GetCoverage&service=WCS&version=1.0.0&format=GeoTIFF&coverage=topo&bbox=-70.8,41.10,-70.0,41.70";
