Same desire here, for much the same reasons. I'd much rather do my canned queries (and possibly Ensembl-style URLs as well) by passing the query as XML to martview.

Exactly - what I want is to copy the XML, fiddle with it, and upload it again, either via an html form, or programatically from another application. I find XML much more convenient to work with than the 'URL API', in part because I can get martview to generate it for me.

Hi Will,

I guess we need a mechanism to translate web-service XML to URL API.

By the way, would it be just a matter of storing the information when
user leaves the MartView and comes back again, in which case, storing
the URI in address field (with sessionID) would do this.

However, if you expect some users to store the XML query and fiddle with
it before re-posting, then yes, we need a translation mechanism in
place.

We will discuss this further and see how and when we schedule the
development.

cheers
