New issue 61 by abir...@gmail.com: Nonuniformity of the IOOS SOS
GetCapabilities request
http://code.google.com/p/ioostech/issues/detail?id=61

For GET request, the 52North flavor of the IOOS SOS requires only "request"
and "service" KVPs. The request without any of these KVPs returns an
exception report.

However, the ncSOS flavor apparently requires "version" KVP in addition to
the "request" and "service" ones, and returns an exception report
if "version" is omitted. At the same time, omission of all KVPs returns the
GetCapabilities document that describes both SOS v1.0.0 and v2.0.

As I have not tried the POST request, I don't know if it has the same
discrepancy. Regardless, to ensure interoperability of these two flavors of
the IOOS SOS the discrepancy in the GetCapabilities request has to be
fixed. In addition, to avoid confusion, either one of the "version"
and "acceptVersions" parameters should be allowed.

SOS GetCapabilities request

Per the OGC OWS specs (05-008 and 06-121), "version" is not an allowed
parameter for GetCapabilities requests. "acceptVersions" is the only
allowed version related parameter, which is used for version negotiation.
