Is it possible to get a list of node types (or even property types) in Alfresco?

Question

Is there a way that I can call alfresco via webscript and get back a list of node types or list of node properties that are available? So if there are three different node types (cm:content, cm:folder, and cm:foo), I'd get that three returned to me (and not actually nodes that are one of these three types)?

Reason why I'm asking is that I would like to query the server for available search fields to be used in a database search. If it helps, I'm using extjs library with Alfresco (opsoro), and using lucene search atm. Any help into the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't think such a webscript exists. You can find all the webscripts provided by alfresco looking at the url http://host/alfresco/service/index.

What you can do is implement the webscript yourself and then just access it normaly like you would any other webscript. More info on how to implement webscripts here.
