+== Overview ==
+
+This RFC proposes to add a NEW !GetCapabilites() API to the feature service which contains an additional connection string parameter. This will primarily allow for acquiring the "runtime" capabilities of WFS/WMS providers.
+
+== Motivation ==
+
+The existing Feature service !GetCapabilties() API works correctly for most providers, but fails to return the true capabilities of the server connected to by a WFS/WMS provider because there is no way to specify the connection string containing the server.
+
+
+
+== Proposed Solution ==
+
+Create a NEW !GetCapabilities() API that takes an additional connection string parameter.
+
+Existing API:
+{{{
+    MgByteReader* GetCapabilities(CREFSTRING providerName);
+}}} 
+
+Proposed NEW API:
+{{{
+    MgByteReader* GetCapabilities(CREFSTRING providerName, CREFSTRING connectionString);
+}}} 
+
+Note: This NEW API will behave exactly the same as the old API if it is given an empty string as the connection string parameter.
+
+== Implications ==
+
+This change will NOT break existing API compatibility.
+
+== Test Plan ==
+
+!Build/Run on !Windows/Linux.

+== !Funding/Resources ==

+Supplied by Autodesk.
