Gus is also complaining about the broken access to the VAO registry
from Topcat but he does not seem to know the specifics, look at the bottom
paragraph.
He has hit the case where the astrogrid registry also seems to be
unaccessible so he is stuck

Registry Mayhem.

There are four registry entries for VO Cone searches:

http://registry.astrogrid.org/**astrogrid-registry/services/**
RegistryQueryv1_0<http://registry.astrogrid.org/astrogrid-registry/services/RegistryQueryv1_0>
(default)
http://alt.registry.astrogrid.**org/astrogrid-registry/**
services/RegistryQueryv1_0<http://alt.registry.astrogrid.org/astrogrid-registry/services/RegistryQueryv1_0>
http://nvo.stsci.edu/vor10/**ristandardservice.asmx<http://nvo.stsci.edu/vor10/ristandardservice.asmx>
http://registry.euro-vo.org/**services/RegistrySearch<http://registry.euro-vo.org/services/RegistrySearch>

Please not that #3 item *should actually be updated to*:

http://vao.stsci.edu/**directory/ristandardservice.**asmx<http://vao.stsci.edu/directory/ristandardservice.asmx>

I am searching for: ivo://CDS.VizieR/II/311#wise on behalf of some
folks on Twitter who asked me if I could figure out what is up. I
cannot. :-)

I know the service is live because I can find it on the Vizier page,
and I can find it via Vizier Catalog search in TOPCAT. Further, the
VAO Data Discovery Tool
(http://vao.stsci.edu/portal/**Mashup/Clients/Portal/**
DataDiscovery.html?useAV<http://vao.stsci.edu/portal/Mashup/Clients/Portal/DataDiscovery.html?useAV>
),
queries it with no problem.

Yet lookin for “WISE” under the “VO Cone search” option in TOPCAT
*fails* for all four(five) registries in different ways:

registry.astrogrid fails for all queries (dead?)
alt.registry.astrogrid occasionally works, finds WISE related results
(3) but NOT that entry
nvo.stsci.edu (or vao.stsci.edu) fails for all queries (unexpected
response?)
registry.euro finds “WISE” results (5) but not that entry

Of course that result (ivo://CDS.VizieR/II/311#wise) is in the
http://vao.stsci.edu/**directory/ristandardservice.**asmx<http://vao.stsci.edu/directory/ristandardservice.asmx>registry
(http://vao.stsci.edu/**directory/getRecord.aspx?id=**
ivo://CDS.VizieR/II/311<http://vao.stsci.edu/directory/getRecord.aspx?id=ivo://CDS.VizieR/II/311>
and try a search here:
http://vao.stsci.edu/**directory/keywordsearch.aspx<http://vao.stsci.edu/directory/keywordsearch.aspx>),
which explains
why the VAO DDT successfully finds WISE results.

Yet as I said before TOPCAT isn’t being successful accessing the VAO
registry at all.  Why is that, anyway? What would it take for the
vao.stsci.edu to become the default for TOPCAT?

Thanks,

 - Gus
