Determining WMS Capabilities via Rest & JSON

[ChristopherDresel1]

Hi,

i need to programmatically (C# & JSON Parser) determine WMS Capabilities of published Services via Rest & JSON. How would i do that?

If i browse for example to http://141.244.148.18/ArcGIS/Rest/Services/ACC_Scenario_1/MapServer, i can see "WMS" at "Supported Interfaces".

When i request JSON (http://141.244.148.18/ArcGIS/Rest/Services//ACC_Scenario_1/MapServer?f=json&pretty=true), this information is gone...

Is there any possibility to get the information if WMS is supported? Tried to scan over the Rest API http://denverdemo.esri.com/ArcGIS/SDK/REST/index.html, but didn't find anything useful.

Thanks & Greetz,
Dresel

Dresel,

Thank you for this posting. The information about WMS capability of a service is not part of the MapService resource JSON response. We will explore the possibility of returning this in the Service resource json response.

Thanks for your Response!

In the meantime i use following workaround:

I take the "mapName" and make a HttpRequest to the WMS GetCapabilities Request (services/<mapName>/MapServer/WMSServer)... if i get a response = "WMS enabled" if not = "WMS disabled"...

Not quite neat, but it works for now...
