das attribute object

dds data type object

dods data object

info info object (attributes, types and other information)

ver return the version number of the server

help help information (this text)

When you give that url to a DODS client, it actually sends a url with one of the following six file extensions: .das, .dds, .dods, .info, .ver or .help. The extensions tell the DODS server which object to return (see table).

das	attribute object
dds	data type object
dods	data object
info	info object (attributes, types and other information)
ver	return the version number of the server
help	help information (this text)

Note: Many DODS clients supply these extensions for you so you don't need to append them (for example when using interfaces supplied by DODS or software re-linked with a DODS client-library). Generally, you only need to add these extensions if you are typing a URL directly into a WWW browser.

^*On GrADS startup, the config line should read Config: ... DODS-enabled ..., otherwise DODS is not installed and giving GrADS a URL will result in a file-not-found error.
