disable opendap access to Aeris servers #22

Closed d70-t closed 3 years ago

d70-t commented 3 years ago

Currently, the aeris opendap server is very often unavailable. This patch changes the access method to that server to netcdf download via http and local caching (simplecache). While this is generally a worse idea then access via opendap, it is maybe better than no access at all.

This patch should be reverted when opendap access becomes more stable.

@d70-t Is there any way to make this a fall-back rather than the default?

d70-t commented 3 years ago

Hmm, that would be a lot better, yes! But I don't yet know about such a thing. I would really like to see a way of specifying multiple access methods to the same dataset in general as this could also be used for referencing the data from multiple different servers and would support load balancing, local routing and fall back.

Also, currently the server is back up...
