Hi John,

I did some work with Dennis a couple of months ago to extend the netCDF C API 
to enable support for the security system developed for Earth System Grid.  I'm 
wondering if the equivalent Java NetCDF OPeNDAP client would need modification 
or if it might work 'out of the box'?  

The basics of what's needed are:
 * the ability to support HTTP redirects
 * maintain cookies
 * client authenticate with SSL client authentication - ie. set an X.509 
certificate and private key in the client's keystore for use in SSL handshake 
with the server.

Cheers,
Phil
