A description of how to get the constraints that can be applied to a particular dataset and variable.

This action will return a list of constraint objects that are applicable to particular dataset and variable in an LAS installation. The URL for this action is:

http://server.gov:8080/las/getDataConstraints.do?dsid=datasetID&varid=va... example, the response for an LAS that contains the platforms data set and the sst variable. http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/las/getDataConstraints.do?dsid=platforms&var...
