Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

I don't know about other OPeNDAP servers, but GDS won't allow a .dods request without any constraints.
the TDS doesnt care if there are constraints or not, but it will refuse requests larger than a configurable size. The default i think is 500 Mb for binary, and 50 Mb for ascii.
I guess I'm not happy about having to tell users they need to add something in order to use URL's which have worked for a number of years, or about having to change application code so it recognizes and passes a prefix on through to the open-nc routine.I agree completely.
the netcdf-java opendap client doesnt support prefixes. in fact, it doesnt allow you to open a constrained dataset. you open the entire dataset, then send constraints to read the data. the idea is to treat a remote dataset the same as a local dataset. sometimes that doesnt work very well, but mostly it works ok, and its often a great advantage to the application who only sees the netcdf API.
