Bug

Adding a Web Coverage Service (WCS) connection in ArcGIS Pro requires a request=GetCapabilities parameter while other Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) services (WMS, WMTS) do not.

Additional Information

After investigation, the two services provided are having problems. The main reason this fails is not because of missing a getcapabilities in the connection URL. A WCS connection is capable to find the highest version it supports at both the ArcGIS client and WCS server. It makes attempt calls to the server and append any query parameters where necessary. The real problems: 1. http://neso.cryoland.enveo.at/cryoland/ows?service=wcs&request=GetCapabilities there is no parameter inside the getcapabilities call, so the client does not know what coverage to "describecoverage". 2. http://ows.rasdaman.org/rasdaman/ows?SERVICE=WCS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities The version this WCS supports is 2.1 and 2.0.1 as advertised. ArcMap supports 2.0.1 as the highest version. Theoretically, ArcMap can getcoverage based on 2.0.1. However, if attaching &version=2.0.1 to the URL above, the response is still using 2.1 version of getcapabilities. So the ArcMap client fails to parse it.
