Problem

I'd like to access the ncss file from within my python app directly from the cache directory. I won't need the binary data in the response stream, instead it would be nice to get a json response with some useful information (filepath, filesize, hash, Spatial Extent, Temporal Extent) after the creation of the subset is finished.
I thought about serving the file with uwsgi+nginx and delete it after a successful download.

Although I am not into java at all I took a look at the ncss component and thought about the following for gridded datasets:

• Add a boolean parameter in NcssParamsBean.java
• Add getResponseMetadata method in GridResponder.java (creates the json response)
• Adapt response in NcssController.java if parameter is set
