WMS Legends

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

The WMS has to support the GetLegendGraphic operation.  You can find
this out by checking out a GetCapabilities XML response.

If GetLegendGraphic is supported, you can invoke a request via:

http://host/wms?version=1.1.1&service=WMS&request=GetLegendGraphic&forma
t=$imageFormat&layer=$layerName

..where $format is your desired format MIME type, and $layer is the
layername you are interested in.

Note that this operation returns graphic icons for a single layer.
