[gdal-dev] wcs driver not cooperating

[Jachym Cepicky]

Hi,

using gdal 1.9 (trunk)

I try to read data from this service (with following configuration):

<WCS_GDAL>
  <ServiceURL>http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/wcs/fmrc/NCEP/DGEX/Alaska_12km/NCEP-DGEX-Alaska_12km_best.ncd?</ServiceURL>
  <CoverageName>Geopotential_height</CoverageName>
</WCS_GDAL>

gdalinfo says:


ERROR 1: HTTP error code : 400
ERROR 1: BBOX [-2382.54740463738,-4406.77080800545,-2358.65740463738,-4430.66080800545]
minimum point larger than maximum point.
gdalinfo failed - unable to open 'wcs.xml'.

That seems logical

The request, which is send to the server (by gdal, while calling gdalinfo) is

/thredds/wcs/fmrc/NCEP/DGEX/Alaska_12km/NCEP-DGEX-Alaska_12km_best.ncd?SERVICE=WCS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetCoverage&COVERAGE=Geopotential_height&FORMAT=GeoTIFF&BBOX=-2382.54740463738,-4406.77080800545,-2358.65740463738,-4430.66080800545&WIDTH=2&HEIGHT=2&CRS=OGC:CRS84&time=2011-08-27T12:00:00

The bbox seems all right to me (minx,miny, maxx, maxy)

So the question of mine would be:

is the server configured wrong, or is that s gdal issue?

Thanks for help

NOTE: I have absolutely no relation to the server and I do not have
single idea, what are the data about.
