Map-Source AGS w/ WMS legend retrieval and display #855

Open tchaddad opened 3 months ago

This is probably a minor "nice to have":

When working with AGS map-sources, legend support is a little annoying, so it might be nice to be able to retrieve a WMS legend for an AGS service that also supports WMS GetLegend request.

When accessing a WMS, a legend image can be retrieved via the GetLegend OnlineResource URL specified in the WMS GetCapabilities of the relevant service.

an example legend from a federal WMS served from an AGS server: https://hazards.fema.gov/nfhl/services/public/NFHLWMS/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetLegendGraphic%26version=1.3.0%26format=image/png%26layer=12

Seems like we could reference that legend like this: <map-source name="fema-nfhl" type="ags"> <url>https://hazards.fema.gov/gis/nfhl/rest/services/public/NFHL/MapServer/export</url> <param name="cross-origin" value="anonymous"/> <layer name="SFHA" query-as="fema-nfhl-query/SFHA" > <param name="layers" value="show:28"/> <param name="FORMAT" value="image/png;bits=8"/> <legend type="html"><![CDATA[ <img width="220" src="http://hazards.fema.gov/nfhl/services/public/NFHLWMS/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetLegendGraphic%26version=1.3.0%26format=image/png%26layer=12"/>
]]> </legend> </layer> </map-source>

Currently this does not seem to work, even though the specified URL does retrieve a valid Legend png file.

I see this may relate to https://github.com/geomoose/gm3/issues/556 , but perhaps the suggestion here is a specific direction we could go in for services that happen to have both pathways available
