error in accessing an OpenDAP aggregation server

["Paul Hasenohr" <paul.hasenohr@xxxxxx>]

Dear Ferret users,

I try to access data via OpenDAP from Ferret v5.7.
I have set up locally (linux debian) a DODS Freeform server and an Aggregation server.
I can access from Ferret data served via the Freeform server but not the same data served via the Aggregation server (I can access it from a browser).
If I make a dncdump -h of both, I get exactly the same output.

I then tried to access a publically available Aggregation Server (http://opendap.aviso.oceanobs.com/dodsC/en/h/msla_oer_en_err) and I encountered the same problem.

The error message I get is:
yes? use "http://opendap.aviso.oceanobs.com/dodsC/en/h/msla_oer_en_err";
 ** netCDF error: Invalid Argument
 is this a CDF file ?

Do I something wrong or is there a problem with this release of Ferret ?

My final goal is to set up a LAS server to access my data served via an Aggregation server that would aggregate data served via a freeform server.

Thanks for any advice.

Best regards,
Paul Hasenohr
