[MOBY-l] getPBfromGO

[Michael Gruenberger]

Hi Martin,

sorry I haven't had time to fix my service yet, I've been busy with 
moving house and another project...

The GOID you are using shouldn't return anything, because no PB entries 
exist for this GOID, but as I haven't got the service working yet
I haven't started looking into the MOBY way of returning empty results. 
A good GOID to use for testing would be: 5224, which should return 2 PB 
ID's.


I'm afraid I have no idea why the base64 encoded strings are different...

Let me know if you find out more!

Cheers,

Michael.
