Hi,
I would like to use geoServer to harvest WMS layers from an other server
(ncWMS from University of Reading, specialized in netCDF format).
The problem is that in my get map request from Open Layers, I need to
precise a time parameter.
Concretely, this is the request use by GeoServer to visualize my layer:
http://webportals.ipsl.jussieu.fr:8080/geoserver/couches_from_ncWMS/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetMap&layers=couches_from_ncWMS:poste_land&styles=&bbox=-179.5,-89.5,179.5,89.5&width=661&height=330&srs=EPSG:4326&format=application/openlayers
In this case, I've got no image.
... And this is the request which works :
http://webportals.ipsl.jussieu.fr/thredds/wms?DATASET=http://webportals.ipsl.jussieu.fr/thredds/dodsC/ATLAS/Flux/Inversions/latest/fco2.ccam_c13_rachel.1992-2008.mask11.Fev2012.nc&VERSION=1.1.1&LAYERS=poste_oce&ELEVATION=false&TIME=1992-01-16T00%3A00%3A00.000Z&NUMCOLORBANDS=30&STYLES=boxfill%2Foccam_pastel-30&COLORSCALERANGE=-160%2C130&ABOVEMAXCOLOR=extend&BELOWMINCOLOR=extend&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=-179.5,-89.5,179.5,89.5&WIDTH=168&HEIGHT=168
So, is there a way to integrate the TIME parameter or is is really
impossible?
Depends... if you are interested in writing java code it's possible,
otherwise impossible 
Ah, GeoServer 2.4.0 can serve netcdf data directly if you install the
netcdf community
module, and your netCDF files are CF compliant
