Hi Steffen,
In Toulouse, we use a cgi that we wrote to browse Moby registries:
http://lipm-bioinfo.toulouse.inra.fr/registry/cgi/registry.cgi
To directly access to a service description in the public central, you
have to provide 2 parameters : service and auth_uri.
Here is an example:
http://lipm-bioinfo.toulouse.inra.fr/registry/cgi/registry.cgi?service=iANTNetBlast&auth_uri=iant.toulouse.inra.fr
As you can see on this example, for simple services (just one input), a
direct link to Remora is provided in order to test the service.
Hope this helps,
Sebastien
