Error in url path for sdss-I data #58

Closed belaa closed 9 years ago

belaa commented 9 years ago

I've set my environment variables to those specified for SDSS-I/II spectra (as given on http://bossdata.readthedocs.org/en/latest/envvar.html#sdss-i-ii-spectra), yet when I call bossquery I'm still getting an error: 

HTTP request returned error code 404 for http://dr12.sdss3.org/sas/dr12/sdss/qso/DR12Q/DR12Q.fits.

I feel like this should be the path to the data:

http://dr12.sdss3.org/sas/dr12/sdss/spectro/redux/26/

Can anyone suggest why the first path above is trying to access DR12 data/why my path isn't given by the second one?

Can you include the command you are trying to run?

It looks like you are trying to query the quasar catalog which is a BOSS product.

I used the working-example for use case 2 from https://github.com/dkirkby/bossdata/issues/50#issuecomment-116361268, however I just learned that since there is no spAll file I can only access individual spectra.
