[MOBY-dev] Registering a MOBY service

[Javier de la Torre]

Good to know that.

PyBiomoby also suffer from this bug. I will provide a fix for that
when I am ready, apart of this, the interaction with the registry
using PyBiomoby is really nice.

Ah! It also has a default url for the moby registry that does not
exist anymore, so updating this could also be nice.

Javier.
