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.

Re: [thredds] FMRC URL's: dataset name now matters in TDS 4.2

Hi All,
Prior to TDS 4.2, you used to be able to change the name of a dataset without adversely affecting the URL to its FMRC components (Best Time Series, Constant Forecast, etc.). Although the title is used to construct the URL, everything up to the final _best.ncd used to be arbitrary. Now I'm finding that a change in the dataset name will break the FMRC URL's. For example:


http://oos.soest.hawaii.edu/thredds/dodsC/hioos/model/atm/wrf_oa/WRF_Oahu_Regional_Atmospheric_Model_(1.5km)_best.ncd


The name gets appended to _best.ncd: "WRF Oahu Regional Atmospheric Model (1.5km)". It used to not matter what went before _best.ncd, and in fact you could even just use the following URL:


http://oos.soest.hawaii.edu/thredds/dodsC/hioos/model/atm/wrf_oa/_best.ncd


Now if I change that name to something else (e.g. "WRF Oahu Regional Atmospheric Model"), the old URL breaks because it's now expecting the following:


http://oos.soest.hawaii.edu/thredds/dodsC/hioos/model/atm/wrf_oa/WRF_Oahu_Regional_Atmospheric_Model_best.ncd


Is this the new way it will behave or is it a bug that can be fixed?

Hi John:

I thought I was fixing a problem. Is there a reason you prefer it the previous way?
