Hi all, I am trying to add a dataset to a thredds server by hitting a RESTFUL service. I have tried something like this

...
 <dataset name="URLOPENDAP" ID="urlDataset" urlPath="sst/URLOPENDAP">

<serviceName>thisOPENDAP</serviceName> <netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2"; location="http://data.aims.gov.au/gbroosdata/services/netcdf/underway/759/temperature/2008-02-11T00:00:00/2008-02-13T00:00:00/1";>

   </netcdf>

</dataset> If I change the location to a file on the server http://data.aims.gov.au/jan.nc it works fine.

this works because this server serves the netcdf file through HTTP range requests, but 
the other URL apparently does not. the message im getting is "Server does not 
support Content-Length". Is this a virtual file?
