GeoServer-developers — Is it currently possible to specify time and other dimensions values when executing WMTS GetTile operation? Our goal is to animate a WMTS layer with respect to time.
The WMTS endpoint is /geoserver/gwc/service/wmts, Geoserver’s integrated Geowebcache.
The TileLayer was defined for an ImageMosaic CoverageStore composed of GeoTiff.
GeoServer version is 2.12.0 Java 1.8.0_152 Linux OS
Our WMTS GetTile request looks like the following:
http://{host}:{port}/geoserver/gwc/service/wmts?service=WMTS&version=1.0.0&request=GetTile&tilematrixset=EPSG:4326&tilematrix=EPSG:4326:0&layer=layerid&style=styleid&tilerow=0&tilecol=0&format=image/png&time=2018-02-13T06:00:00Z&FORECAST=24
But the above responds with the same image, ignoring our time specifications.
We can successfully query the corresponding WMS layer and specify time values when executing GetMap. This allows us to confirm the underlaying data.
We were able to install the Community WMTS Multidimensional Module. Which allows us to query the available dimension values listed on the WMTS GetCapabilities response. However there is no suggestion that this works for the GetTile operation. Is it currently possible to specify time and other dimensions values when executing WMTS GetTile operation?
The following is a snippet of the dimension values listed on the WMTS GetCapabilities response:

Hi Edgardo,
are you interested in contributing to GeoServer? If so, this is the right list, otherwise, you should be asking on the user one 
Cheers
