Thanks for this, Alan -- that'll be useful for some testing!

For anyone who wants to see what's going on behind the scenes
in a SOAP transaction (or is just too lazy to install a proper
client library ;-), the following XML snippet is a valid request to this
server:



<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
                   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema"
		   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance">
  <SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <seq:get_biosequence xmlns:seq="urn:simplebiosequence-service">
      <identifier xsi:type="xsd:string">AL121903</identifier>
    </seq:get_biosequence>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>




You can try POST-ing this to the end-point URL.
