Re: [thredds] Proxy Error with large aggregation FMRC on Tomcat7/TDS 4.2.9

Hi Rich,

What kind of proxy setup do you have in front of your TDS server? I'm
surprised the proxy doesn't pass along whatever error it gets. Does it
take a while before you get the "Proxy Error" message? Perhaps the proxy
has a timeout limit and the response exceeds that limit.

The startup="true" should cause a scan on server startup. John might
have more thoughts on what is going on here.

What messages do you get for this request in the threddsServlet.log
file? And is there a message for this request in your access logs?
