Hi Syed, Thanks for letting me know - obviously we would like this to work OK as soon as possible, but I understand that there are other priorities. We may have to remove (or greatly simplify) some of the links we were hoping to use for the time being. When the Biomart team are fixing this issue, it would also be useful to augment the URL request with a flag for 'unique rows only' which I believe is not available at the moment.
best regards, Phil. PS - I also tried posting a martservice request XML file to martview with the same outcome, I guess the same fix will solve that one too. 2009/7/7 Syed Haider <[email protected]>: > Hi Phil, > > unfortuntately, the order of atts in URL query is not respected.
