The 'char' type in rasdaman is the 'byte' type in netcdf. In netcdf, the 'char' type is used for the 8-bit characters intended for representing text. Therefore, the netcdf(char) result is in binary instead of ASCII.
However, the netcdf(char) result is validated against the compliance checker, see: http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/conformance/compliance-checker/
Note: netcdf(float) works fine.

Just submitted patch that should fix it.
Exporting type char is only possible to short, as netcdf only supports exporting signed types.
the cdl is generated by ncdump -b c mr.nc>mr.cdl
