Hmmm, I've got IDV 1.2b2 and tried to point it via URL (directly) to
a grib1 and grib2 file and fails.  I would be wonderful to have IDV work
directly on grib1 and grib2 files.

Grib1:

Open data source via web -> Grid files (netCDF/GRIB/OPeNDAP).  Looks like 
the grid types are correctly detected.

Grib1, error:
