prototype TAP-1.1 service

[Patrick Dowler]

We did recently switch to tomcat7 and it could be less tolerant about 
repeated /. I don't see any downside so will modify our service 
registration.

PS-But, there is a general issue with appending stuff to URLs that 
usually requires parsing them first to see exactly what state they are 
in (how they end)... e.g. do you start with a ? or a & to append query 
params? I'm always writing code to be careful of leading and trailing / 
so it seems like one of those fiddly issues that have to be dealt with 
by everyone :-(
