I've just installed thredds on bitnami tomcat vmware stack
http://bitnami.org/stack/tomcatstack with latest versions of java&tomcat on
ubuntu and latest promoted download version of thredds(4.2)
Enabled all the extra service options(WMS/allow=true, allowRemote=true) in
the threddsConfig.xml file for WMS,etc and they work fine on local files,
but when I try to run WMS on a remote file like below
http://129.252.139.124/thredds/wms?dataset=http://thredds.coastal.ufl.edu:8080/thredds/fileServer/SLOSH/2008Ike_egl2.nc
I get the below message where thredds thinks I'm trying to make a local WMS
request
<ServiceExceptionReport xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/ogc"; xmlns:xsi="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; version="1.3.0"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/ogc
http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.3.0/exceptions_1_3_0.xsd";>
<ServiceException>Must provide a value for parameter REQUEST
</ServiceException>
</ServiceExceptionReport>
Also does thredds support remote dataset services other than WMS and WCS ?
Most of the examples and servers I've seen are serving local datasets,
how would one search for thredds catalogs with remotely serviced datasets
and what are the issues or limitations with that type of centralized
thredds server(reservicing just HTTP remotely accessible CF-compliant
netCDF files) approach?
Thanks
Jeremy
