URL constructed by Netcdf Subset Server

[Ethan Davis]

Hi Rich,

A number of people have expressed interest in this.

First off, in case you haven't seen the spec, which might be helpful, it 
is located at

http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/docs/#NetcdfServer
http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/docs/NetcdfServer.html

I'm not sure how easy an intermediate step or writing the URL into the 
netCDF file would be. I'll leave that for John to ponder when he returns 
next week. To bad browsers don't display the URL, but I think when it is 
an unknown document type it just ships it off to the "Save to disk ..." 
UI without showing the URL.

In the mean time, if you use Firefox, you can install the 
LiveHTTPHeaders extension and see the requested URL as well as all the 
request and response HTTP headers. Perhaps overkill for this issue but 
that is the best I have come up with so far. If you use a different 
browser, sorry, I don't know if there is anything similar.

Let me know if this works for you. If not, I can capture a few 
constructed URLs for you.
