That test script is meant to be pointed to an individual DAS data
source, not the root of a DAS server (which can potentially be
serving up many data sources).

Try something like:

     http://servlet.sanger.ac.uk:8080/das/homo_sapiens_core_25_34e/

(You can get a complete list of what's on offer by looking at
http://servlet.sanger.ac.uk:8080/das/ in a web browser).

There's a version in CVS:

        http://cvs.open-bio.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/das-client/?cvsroot=biojava

I think this up to date, but as you can see it's not had much development
recently.
