[MOBY-dev] BioMOBY ping

[Pieter Neerincx]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with the BioMOBY ping thing. As far as I know  
the services I had registered in the central BioMOBY Central respond  
correctly to a BioMOBY ping request. They are listed as dead though  
on the BioMOBY website and I'm wondering why. The current suspects are:

* Base64 encoded output. Does the agent decode base64 content correctly?
* HTTPS. My services require an https connection. If the agent is  
using Perl code it will probably complain about not being able to  
validate the certificate, but execute anyway. If the agent was  
written in Java it will refuse to execute the service if the SSL  
certificates can not be validated. Our certificates are self-signed,  
so you'd have to add them to your keystore to be able to execute our  
services with a Java client.

My services might need an update to take advantage of LSID resolution  
and the asynchronous one needs to be rewritten for our new BioMOBY  
async services standard, but they are not dead!

Something else: I plan on resuming my SOAP::Lite testing with the  
latest and greatest version. Is there anybody out there who is  
currently successfully running a (patched) S::L version > 0.60?

Cheers,

Pi
