[MOBY-dev] Registering a MOBY service

[Edward Kawas]

Okay,

I have noticed something else:

If I try to register a service in dashboard where I escape the &, dashboard does
the following:

Given-> &, dashboard shows the raw XML as-> &

Anyways, if I register a service with &, a find service (using a perl client)
returns &. If I register a service with a &, a find service returns the
&

What am I missing? Is the problem that dashboard escapes the & in both cases and
central doesn't?

Thanks,

Eddie
