After two years of development, there are quite some changes on the API itself e.g. the logic on the gzipped file handling seems already moved from `api.py` to `scipy_.py`. So I think it would be better to start a new commit from the latest version. To bring the concept on the same table, there are 3 backends that can be used to handle gzipped netCDF file namely `scipy`, `netcdf4` and `pydap`. `scipy` backend only support netCDF3 so far and that is the only implemented method to handle gzipped netCDF3 file. `netcdf4` and `pydap` should able to deal with netCDF4 file given the file is first opened by `gzip.open` (as it was implement in `scipy_.py`). So what we need to do is to make both `netCDF4_.py` and `pydap_.py` aware of the file is end with `.gz` and first open it using `gzip.open`. Following tests also need to be done to verify the implementation of the logic. I have looked at vcrpy and it seems a nice idea to speed up tests with HTTP stuff involved. I must confess I only use xarray with local file so it may takes quite a while to understand the issue.
