Loaddap and HTTPS

[Arnaud FOREST]

Thanks for your responses.

I setup Apache to provide the HTTPS support but when I try to retrieve 
some data from my DODS Server (Java) to matlab with 'loaddap', I have an 
Error.
I watched the log files and didn't see any access to my DODS server.
	loaddap('https://user:passwd@myserver/somedata?u,v&...')	
I access to my DODS server without problems with a web Browser , I get 
the certificate and it works !

I try with only BASIC authentification with no HTTPS and it works.
	loaddap('http://user:passwd@myserver/somedata?u,v&...')

"Dan: You asked about libdap support. Yes, libdap, and therefore any
  client built using it, will support HTTPS ... "

Should I re-compile my matlab tool-box ?

Can someone give me an URL to a DODS server with HTTPS access to try my 
'loaddap' ?

Arnaud
