rofr.ivoa.net question

[Patrick Dowler]

If I modify the records for my own registry internally an that is exposed
via OAI publishing endpoint, is rofr.ivoa.net supposed to automatically
pick that up? That is, does rofr periodically re-harvest/update registry
records? Or are other harvesters expected to come to my OAI endpoint
themselves?

Awhile back I changed the accessURL for our registry from http to https and
I did change the timestamps as well. Then yesterday I was trying to figure
out why CADC services had disappeared from the GAVO registry.... when I
checked EuroVO registry it contained much older (2018-01-24) records than
we are currently publishing (2019-04-05) for our registry itself. Costas
says that EuroVO is comparing our registry record from rofr with the one it
has and rofr has the 2018-01-24 record...

Do I need to poke rofr somehow? Can I automate that?

There was an issue where Identify returned an http URL which didn't match
the https URL from ivo://cadc.nrc.ca/registry but that is fixed and
timestamps updated.. maybe that is related.

Aside: our registry is still a bit of a hack and fails OAI Validation - it
does pass all IVOA and VOResource tests.
