[MOBY-dev] Human Readable Registry on the Web ?

[Sebastien Carrere]

This cgi does not check for dead services. It browses the whole registry.

The problem with your service was related to Collection Input (we don't 
have a lot of services dealing with collections in our lab, that's why I 
had never seen this bug ...).
I fixed it.

Now, the following url is ok:
http://lipm-bioinfo.toulouse.inra.fr/registry/cgi/registry.cgi?form=more_service&central=mobycentral&service=MassBank_unique_DBLinks&auth_uri=ipb-halle.de
