Loading acquisition dates blocks browser interaction

[jisantuc]

Loading acquisition dates for items blocks browser interaction. This isn't the end of the world, but it is pretty annoying.

Replication:

• load https://stacindex.org/catalogs/world-bank-light-every-night#/2Y8qvpmgGXMkKYTC6V1qskx8HMfNqp5KvprH?t=items
• try to use the refresh button while acquisition dates are being populated
• note that your refresh isn't honored until after the acquisition date loads are all complete

Interesting! I get

{"code":"ResourceNotFound","message":"/201206/201206_catalog.json does not exist"}

Please note that some servers don't allow external access via web browsers (e.g., when CORS headers are not present).

Errored URL: https://stacindex.org/api/201206/201206_catalog.json

for the URL due to CORS issues. I'm surprised that it works for you?!

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that this is a STAC Browser issue and is not specific to STAC Index. ~I'll move this to stac-browser.~ Oh, I can't. It's a different GitHub organization. Can you copy/paste this issue to stac-browser, please? Thank you! :-)

good point, that is really weird and doesn't make a ton of sense 🤔
