emsarray.open_dataset() of gbr1_2.0 data results in time access error

[sspagnol]

Hi, wandering if anyone has any pointers on why the below snippet results in the errors shown.

''' import emsarray gbr1_url='http://dapds00.nci.org.au/thredds/dodsC/fx3/model_data/gbr1_2.0.ncml' dataset = emsarray.open_dataset(gbr1_url) '''

gives me

'''oc_open: server error retrieving url: code=2 message="The variable time[0]' was not found in the dataset."oc_open: server error retrieving url: code=2 message= "The variabletime[0]' was not found in the dataset."oc_open: server error retrieving url: code=2 message="The variable time[0]' was not found in the dataset. "oc_open: server error retrieving url: code=2 message="The variabletime[0]' was not found in the dataset."oc_open: server error retrieving url: code=2 message ="The variable time[0]' was not found in the dataset."oc_open: server error retrieving url: code=2 message="The variabletime[0]' was not found in the dataset ."oc_open: server error retrieving url: code=2 message="The variable `time[0]' was not found in the dataset."Traceback (most recent call last): '''

some stacktrace info and then

''' RuntimeError: Failed to decode variable 'time': NetCDF: Access failure '''

Hi @sspagnol : can you please try again using a https URL for the GBR1_H2p0 OPeNDAP endpoint?
(https://dapds00.nci.org.au/thredds/dodsC/fx3/model_data/gbr1_2.0.ncml)

The NCI upgraded their THREDDS server to be HTTPS by default a few years ago. The HTML catalog pages have redirects so the old URLs still work, but the OPeNDAP protocol that emsarray is using under the hoold doesn't follow redirects

That was indeed the problem. Thanks!

You're welcome, @sspagnol : glad it was so easily sorted!
