Hi all,

The following GetCapabilities document:

http://thredds-staging.met.no/thredds/wms/osisaf_test/met.no/ice/conc_nh_agg?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities
contains a <Dimension> element for time that use the time interval format allowed in ISO 8601. This creates problems for our WMS client that has not implemented this feature.
According to the documentation at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/thredds/current/tds/tutorial/AddingServices.html (search for "More WMS Configuration"), this feature should only be activated if wmsConfig.xml contains an <intervalTime>true</intervalTime> element. 

But our wmsConfig.xml contains <intervalTime>false</intervalTime>.

Is this a bug? How is it otherwise possible to turn off this feature?

Best regards,
