your observations are true. The WCS driver doesn't support the GetCapabilities request currently. If it would, it should likely return the various available coverages as subdatasets, as the WMS driver does. $ gdalinfo "WMS:http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/gwc/service/wms?"; Driver: WMS/OGC Web Map Service Files: none associated Size is 512, 512 Coordinate System is `' Subdatasets: SUBDATASET_1_NAME=WMS:http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/gwc/service/wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=og%3Astreams&SRS=EPSG:900913&BBOX=-1.15841845090625E7,5479006.186718751,-1.1505912992109375E7,5557277.703671876 SUBDATASET_1_DESC=streams SUBDATASET_2_NAME=WMS:http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/gwc/service/wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=og%3Aarchsites&SRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=-104.0625,44.296875,-103.359375,45.0 SUBDATASET_2_DESC=archsites [...] Place for improvement for those who want to contribute code or funding.
