Thanks for pointing this out.

Dennis: Although the attributes are now appearing correctly, I'm still having trouble accessing the IPCC data. For example,

ncdump -v prw http://esgcet.llnl.gov/dap/ipcc4/20c3m/gfdl_cm2_0/pcmdi.ipcc4.gfdl_cm2_0.20c3m.run1.atm.mo.xml

gives

data:

prw =
 ; // UNDEFINED
}

with the Sept 16 snapshot.  The coordinate variables seem to work fine

data:

lat = -89, -87, -85, -83, -81, -79, -77, -75, -73, -71, -69, -67, -65, -63,
   -61, -59, -57, -55, -53, -51, -49, -47, -45, -43, -41, -39, -37, -35,
   -33, -31, -29, -27, -25, -23, -21, -19, -17, -15, -13, -11, -9, -7, -5,
   -3, -1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33,
   35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47, 49, 51, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 63, 65, 67, 69,
   71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, 83, 85, 87, 89 ;
}

but all the data grids come back undefined. The same thing happens when trying to access data from the IRI data library

ncdump -v hgt http://iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu/expert/SOURCES/.NOAA/.NCEP/.EMC/.CFS/.MONTHLY_REALTIME/.PRESS/.hgt/dods

hgt =
 ; // UNDEFINED
}


Other dap URLs work fine though, for example

ncdump -v vvelprs http://nomad1.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/reanalyses/reanalysis-2/6hr/pgb/pgb

with netcdf-4.1-beta2, then get the time variable, it appears there are no attributes associated with it. Browsing the xml file

http://esgcet.llnl.gov/aggregates/ipcc4/20c3m/gfdl_cm2_1/pcmdi.ipcc4.gfdl_cm2_1.20c3m.run1.atm.mo.xml

it does appear these attributes are defined, but somehow the client is not getting them.

Is it a bug in the way there are serving the data, or a bug in the opendap client in netcdf-4.1?
