problem with THREDDS server 4.0 beta

[Denis Nadeau]

Hi Ethan,

My cache size is set at 0Mb in my browser.  I delete the cache each time
I quit the browser.
I tried with 2 different browsers as well.

I am accessing this directory:
http://mymachine:myport/opendap/s4/catalog.html
I have changed the catalog.xml datascan TAG to this:
    <datasetScan location="/root/data" path="data" name="SVN223233 Test
Data Archive" serviceName="OPeNDAP-Server4">

My browser still display this:
    SVN Test Data Archive

The only place I can see "SVN Test Data Archive" now is in :
webapps/opendap/initialContent/catalog.xml
