When you give that url to a DODS client, it actually sends a url with one of the following six file extensions: .das, .dds, .dods, .info, .ver or .help. The extensions tell the DODS server which object to return (see table).

Note: Many DODS clients supply these extensions for you so you don't need to append them (for example when using interfaces supplied by DODS or software re-linked with a DODS client-library). Generally, you only need to add these extensions if you are typing a URL directly into a WWW browser.
