Files returned by OPeNDAP are compressed?

I think there has been a recent change for files downloaded from a link like:

https://ladsweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/opendap/RemoteResources/laads/allData/61/MOD07_L2/2000/055/MOD07_L2.A2000055.0000.061.2017202185924.hdf.nc4

The file I get from that link is compressed, and I don't think it used to be. I have some Python code that previously worked that did not involve any decompression. Should the suffix of the file name now be ".nc4.gz"?

No change has been made to LAADS OPeNDAP service setting that would result in compressing the download file. We just tested it by downloading the file you mentioned from OPeNDAP service page and it was not compressed.

Thanks for checking and for the reply. I should have investigated further, as what I observed appears to be the result of something going on behind the scenes in the `earthaccess` Python package. Issue report for anyone interested is at https://github.com/nsidc/earthaccess/issues/887.
