Accessing Server Information

The TDS supports the following requests for server information:

• /thredds/serverInfo.html
• /thredds/serverInfo.xml
• /thredds/serverVersion.txt

Most of the information contained in these responses comes from the serverInformation element of the threddsConfig.xml file (more details here).
