Modified HTTPMethod so that it can be used without having to
create an explicit HTTPSession object.  This is useful when
one wants to make a request, get the response as a stream,
and pass the stream up so that the method object is no
longer in scope. Also modified some other code to use
this capability. Also modified some documentation to
describe the capability.
Fix some bugs in testing wrt last checkin
Grib2 thin grids (1)
Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/target-4.3.17' into target-4.3.17
check for https:, in addition to http:, for DODS type
changed bytes array to byte comparison directly
Grib2 thinGrids (2)
Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/target-4.3.17' into target-4.3.17
Grib2 thinGrids (3);
update WMO common codes and GRIB tables to latest
BUFR Table cleanup; add 17, 18, 19; use 19.1.1 as default tables
changed output type from byte to float, and added the data levels into the output values
Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/target-4.3.17' into target-4.3.17
keep the variable as byte, and add the scale and missing attribute to make it more efficient
update WMO BUFR tables
Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/target-4.3.17' into target-4.3.17
fix time partition index writing (1)
NCSS datasets are open without using the ScaleMissing enhancement so
_FillValues are not replaced with NaNs in the responses.
