        Apparently, ncdump doesn't support OpenDAP URI's of 56
        characters or more in length.  Consider, e. g.:

$ ncdump -k 
http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs_hd/gfs_hd20110128/gfs_hd_00z 
ncdump: http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs_hd/gfs_hd20110128/gfs_hd_00z: 
NetCDF: I/O failure
$ 

        I've checked the proxy logs, and no HTTP request is recorded
        upon the command above.  The behavior is the same should the URI
        be truncated to 56 characters:

$ ncdump -k http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs_hd/gfs_hd20110 
ncdump: http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs_hd/gfs_hd20110: NetCDF: I/O 
failure
$ 

        On the other hand, the URI's of 55 characters and less are
        handled differently, and the requests are being made:

$ ncdump -k http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs_hd/gfs_hd2011 
ncdump: http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs_hd/gfs_hd2011: NetCDF: DAP 
server error
$ ncdump -k http://test.opendap.org:8080/dods/dts/test.01
