✨ ECACCE...AY-NAME(1p) ✨

okay bestie, listen up 💖 this is ecaccess-gateway-name, a lil Perl script from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it does exactly one (1) thing but it does it flawlessly. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ecaccess-gateway-name — it shows you the name of the default ECaccess Gateway. that's the whole job. main character energy, minimal effort, iconic behavior 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ecaccess-gateway-name -version|-help|-manual

ecaccess-gateway-name [-debug]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically? it displays the Name of the Gateway you are connected to. that's it. that's the vibe check. 🫶

now, if you wanna use another Gateway — like, say, a local one — instead of the default boaccess.ecmwf.int Gateway, you can flex these environment parameters:

http_ecaccess=gateway.meteo.ms:9080
https_ecaccess=gateway.meteo.ms:9443

(e.g. if your local ECaccess Gateway name is gateway.meteo.ms and you are using the default ECaccess http/s ports 9080/9443)

so like, lowkey just set those and you're cooking 🍓

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -version — shows you the version number and then dips. bye bestie 👋
  • -help — prints a lil brief help message and exits. the quick snack version.
  • -manual — prints the manual page and exits. the full three-course meal, if you will 💅
  • -retry count — the number of SSL connection retries per 5s to ECMWF. important detail fr fr: this parameter only applies to the initial SSL connection initiated by the command to the ECMWF server. it does NOT apply to all the subsequent requests made afteward, because it's mainly targeting errors that can happen from time to time during the SSL handshake. default is no retry. so if you don't set it, don't come crying about handshake flakiness, ok? 😭
  • -debug — displays the SOAP and SSL messages exchanged. the "not me reading the raw protocol conversation" option 🙈
ngl the -retry count caveat is doing a lot of heavy lifting there — it's for the initial SSL connection only, periodt. not the follow-ups.

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥
