I can confirm that this works with both cdat (tested with cdat_lite) and
netCDF4-python. All I had to do is to recompile the python packages
linked to the latest netcdf-4-daily.tar.gz. Then add some items to
.dodsrc.
Very exciting.

Dennis integrated the code so that security settings are passed via the
.dodsrc file. This means the C API is unchanged. For any given binding
- such as Python - it should just be a matter of linking with the
updated libraries and adding the dodsrc options to your local
environment.
Cheers,
Phil
