ncWMS server is supplying time interval dates

[pmbohm]

What is happening: The animation of layers with time dimension is failing

We are seeing datetime strings coming from ncWMS server ncwms.aodn.org.au in the form: 2010-06-22T02:00:00.000Z/2010-06-22T22:00:00.000Z/PT1H, 2010-06-24T09:00:00.000Z,2010-06-24T......

Previously only datetime strings were seen like: 2010-06-22T02:00:00.000Z,2010-06-24T10:00:00.000Z,2010-06-24T14:00:00.....

What needs to happen: The portal needs to handle date dimensions in the form [beginning time]/[end time]/[time interval] which should be according to the ISO_8601 standard?

Phil, any suggestions as to how I could test it?

Is there an animated layer with an interval date/time format? Or perhaps I should just synthesize something to test the functionality?

Testing with firebug I've found that the following happens:

• _expand3sectionExtendedISO8601Date("2001-01-01T00:00:00.000Z/2003-11-01T00:00:00.000Z/P1Y") -> outputs last date twice

The rest looks pretty solid, although I'd like another person to test these functions.
