Hi,
I'm using
THREDDS Data Server Version 3.16.17 Build Date = 2007-08-23 20:07:45


and I want to provide access through my TDS to another opendap server, 
but this opendap server require athentication in th form of user:password

I have written this, thinking that is the standard way to do it for a 
browser, but it doesn't work

<netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2">
  <aggregation type="union">
    <netcdf 
location="http://user:password@meteo.macc.unican.es/dods/gfs_master/gfs20070907/gfs_master_00z" 
/>     
  </aggregation>
</netcdf>

If i'm putting the same URL in the location bar of ToolsUI it doent't 
work neither.

I'm think that is a problem with netcdf-java library.

Any ideas or comments?

Thank you and regards
