I'm having problems when using the martservice to determine the
versions
of some of the marts at biomart.org. Most of the marts return the
version (0.5 or 0.4) but following all behave differently:
1. WORMBASE 167 (CSHL)
http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martservice?
type=version&mart=wormbase_current
Connects but doesn't respond
2. GRAMENE (CSHL)
http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martservice?
type=version&mart=ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL
Connects and responds with 200 OK but returns no data.
3. DICTYBASE (NORTHWESTERN)
http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martservice?type=version&mart=dicty
Connects and responds with 200 OK and returns:

Hi David,
I know that dicty is using quite a outdated code so it quite possible
that they do not
recognize this request. However, wormbase and gramene should be working
fine
as far as I know. I cc'ed Will Spooner who is a developer there,
Perhaps he would
be able to help us
a.
David
