List,

I am using the REST API to create a layer picker (using openlayers) which
programmatically displays the the available wms layers in a given
workspace.  In this way users can explore the layer metadata prior to
adding them to the map and thereby reducing load time so lots of layers are
not loaded onto the page.

I want to provide the user with a representative thumbnail of the image in
this layer picker.  I am currently doing this via a flat file system where
I take a screenshot of the layer in QGIS and then resize it for display on
the webpage.  The metadata is loading programmatically, but the thumbnails
are hand coded....not good!

Is it possible to access a preview of a wms layer via the REST API?

Thanks,
Jay
