Thanks Brian and John for this suggestion, which works up to a point! Another problem is that calling NetcdfDataset.open(https://...) doesn’t seem to work, because Java-NetCDF seems to try to open the URL as a local file. I think someone raised this issue on this list before, and John said that it’s possible to use plain http and have the library handle the redirect to https. However, in this case, the server in question does not provide http access, nor does it redirect to https. What should we do – would it be possible for us to hack the Java-NetCDF library to allow https URLs in NetcdfDataset.open()? Or are there some deeper issues that I’m missing?

You can set the HttpClient object with the following: HttpClient httpClient = org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient(); // Do whatever you need to httpClient, Here I'm setting a proxy httpClient.getHostConfiguration().setProxy(proxyname, port); ucar.nc2.dataset.NetcdfDataset.setHttpClient(httpClient); The problem is that in this case we need to provide a client certificate. If we could get a handle to the HttpClient object (which I think is used to make HTTP calls under the hood?) we could probably set it up to perform the handshake. -- ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Brian Schlining bschlining@xxxxxxxxx
