[x3d-public] problem in nrrd example file header

[Andreas Plesch]

I recall that I tested the fixed nrrd files with other volume rendering
capable browsers. Let me look for the corresponding X3D scenes and post
their URLs for further testing.

I remember it was pretty difficult to discover the files on savage.

Cheers,

Andreas

Hi Nicholas... am following up on this lingering item from the holiday
break.

Can you please confirm the correction by Andreas, and advise on how we are
handling the files?

I don't mind hosting at savage.nps.edu but often there are difficulties
with server certificates and cross-origin resource sharing (CORS).  Thus it
would be good to figure out how best to handle this large Web3D dataset.

If the "right answer" isn't immediately clear, perhaps a short session in
one of the regular teleconferences might be appropriate sometime, then we
can figure it out together.

TIA.
