I don't know about other OPeNDAP servers, but GDS won't allow a .dods request without any constraints.
the TDS doesnt care if there are constraints or not, but it will refuse requests larger than a configurable size. The default i think is 500 Mb for binary, and 50 Mb for ascii.
I guess I'm not happy about having to tell users they need to add something in order to use URL's which have worked for a number of years, or about having to change application code so it recognizes and passes a prefix on through to the open-nc routine.I agree completely.
the netcdf-java opendap client doesnt support prefixes. in fact, it doesnt allow you to open a constrained dataset. you open the entire dataset, then send constraints to read the data. the idea is to treat a remote dataset the same as a local dataset. sometimes that doesnt work very well, but mostly it works ok, and its often a great advantage to the application who only sees the netcdf API.
