Mike,

Why do we need a password? Those dependencies should be available
under public URLs (even on our mirror at JPL, no?)

Longer term: we should vet all licenses, (which looks like all are
Category-A compatible per [1]), and then define places those dependencies
can live. The ASF is not in the business of rehosting dependencies, so
they typically ask upstream providers to do that. JPL is a fine upstream
provider, so our mirror can easily stay, not a big deal.

Short term: just change the way that the dependencies are read (they
should all be available e.g., at
http://oodt.jpl.nasa.gov/download/public/climate/<dep name>/..etc./)

Make sense?

Cheers,
Chris
