Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

I think we're barking up the wrong tree here. You can fit a whole  lot of
parameters into a standard GET request, e.g., here is an image generated by
RAMADDA's IDV grid displays plugin:

)

Most likely people doing service requests to a data server are going to
need to specify far fewer parameters.
