opendap / documentation Goto Github PK

The last two PRs on OPeNDAP's documentation failed with the following error in the logs:

$ git push --force --quiet "https://${GIT_UID}:${GIT_TOKEN}@github.com/OPENDAP/documentation" master:gh-pages
remote: Invalid username or password.
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/OPENDAP/documentation/'

You can see the logs on the Travis CI for Build #306 and Build #307. You can also find them from the Build history .

BTW: the errors take place towards the end of the logs around lines > 1260. Build 306 was trigger by the merger of my PR #18, where Build 307 was trigger by the merger of PR #16

FYI: The last successful build was build #305, 7 months ago.

In the file tutorials/ClientAuthenticationWithEDLTokens.adoc , in the 3.3 pydap subsection it should read:

my_session.headers={"Authorization": auth_hdr}

otherwise you get

HTTPError: 401 Unauthorized
HTTP Basic: Access denied.

see this pydap/issue#302.
Will get a PR next

I just found out about bokodapviewer --a really cool python application developed using bokeh - to interactively visualize data hosted on OPeNDAP servers. I think we should include it in the documentation - tutorials. I tried it out and it still works with very minor tweaks! Installation works well via pip.

Here is the original youtube video tutorial, and an updated one in 2020 using HyCOM data.

The Constraint Expressions part of the Documentation has some broken links. These are very easy to fix, but I wanted to open this issue to:

1. Understand the broken links to make the proper modifications.
2. Raise an issue so that a PR can be connected to it.

With regards to 1)

Below is one of the broken links in the documentation. The broken hyperlinks under Constraint Expressions all share the similar behavior. The hyperlink refers to the test data http://test.opendap.org/opendap/data/nc/sst.mnmean.nc.gz?sst[3][4][5] (DAP2)

The url has already been escaped, but the link fails to open on the browser with a header that says

Hyrax - Resource Not Found (404). 

I noticed that the file type is asc (non-structure ASCII). Without the asc the hyper link downloads the data.

a) Is the goal to open an ASCII type file on the browser to visualize the stream of numbers?
b) Is the goal to download data (any format)?
c) Should the proper link be a DDS, something like this?

Whether a, b or c), will inform me on how to proceed to fix these hyperlinks and submit a PR.
