[MOBY] [MOBY-l] OntologyServer.cgi

[Mark Wilkinson]

Ah.  Right.  That CGI isn't in the CVS - the idea is that the ontology
server should not be a part of the MOBY project per se, though the MOBY
Central server depends on it.  I am imagining that ontology servers will
be a project all on their own, where MOBY is making calls to a remote
OntologyServer API.  Of course, at the moment the only ontology server
(that I know of) is the MOBY one, hosted at mobycentral :-) ...but I
hadn't considered the situation where a machine hosting the MOBY Central
registry was unable to make outgoing calls to that resource... it
purposely isn't intended to be a local resource...

Nevertheless, I'll (reluctantly) add it to the CVS if you need it.  It
will appear under Perl/scripts/

Everything works fine for services registering, but when I try to set up a service, it seems to fail, especially for namespace recovery from the SOAP query. The reason seems to be that it tries to connect to the Canadian MOBYCentral when I call CommonSubs::getSimpleArticleNamespaceURI (and fails since the computer is not connected to internet !). I saw in MOBY::Client::OntologyServer.pm a call to an OntologyServer.cgi, presumably to check the existence of the namespace, but could not find the cgi in the cvs check out.
