I don't know Java that well, but I do know Python. In python, some of the http libraries do not handle https properly. I have been told by others, but do not know this first hand, that the some is true of at least some Java libraries. All I know is a did a reboot a couple of months ago, and everything worked. I changed nothing on my end, and it failed today, on accessing correctly that remote file. Once I brought down the latest war, with my catalogs otherwise the same, things worked. So I don't know enough about Java to say anything definite, but it sure looks like it was the forced redirect that caused the problem. Wha I would suggest in the future is: 1. Warn people ahead of time that this will happen. 2. Set up a test site to see if it causes any problems. 3. If the catalog headers should be changed, post that beforehand so people can make changes. Just my $0.02 - there are probably other good ways to go about this. -Roy > On Nov 20, 2017, at 2:12 PM, dmh@xxxxxxxx wrote: > > [Sorry to interject] > Roy, you say: >> But we have found generally that forced redirects of http do not work >> correctly in a lot of languages. > Do you have any insight into why they fail? > Should we just reject http: calls instead of redirecting > them? > =Dennis Heimbigner > Unidata > > ********************** "The contents of this message do not reflect any position of the U.S. Government or NOAA." ********************** Roy Mendelssohn Supervisory Operations Research Analyst NOAA/NMFS Environmental Research Division Southwest Fisheries Science Center ***Note new street address*** 110 McAllister Way Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Phone: (831)-420-3666 Fax: (831) 420-3980 e-mail: Roy.Mendelssohn@xxxxxxxx www: http://www.pfeg.noaa.gov/ "Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill."
