function data = oct_readdap(url,varname,query)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

%  Reproduce the old oct_readdap behavior when using oct_loaddap library
%  But uses Built-in Support for OPeNDAP from Matlab >= 2012a 
%
%  Retry (100 times) in case of network failure.
