I'd be very happy to implement that if we could establish a convention.
Essentially I think you mean something not a million miles away from a
capabilities request:

1. P2 says "hello, river server. Tell me what files are available for this
lat, this long"
2. Serverside script returns a list of files (and, maybe, the formats
they're available in)
3. P2 requests them one-by-one
