Obvious one is DSS, you can get a list of possibles simply by running up
Aladin and looking at the image section. Aladin retrieves most of these
using simple GET/POST REST services (as does eSTAR).

Both of these will be served via (proper!) web services off eSTAR,
probably from some sort of brokering service although the details are a
little fuzzy right now. There may however be some (political, not
technical) restrictions on the WFCAM stuff (see Tim for all the gory
details).
