Doing ...

I got a report that the Spray Terra client app is currently not working. It looks like terraserver.net is not responding, but terraservice.net is. The terraserver.net endpoint is hard coded into the "ToGo" application (along with the whole wsdl), and I would need to re-deploy it if the outage on terraserver.net is permanent. I remember at the start of the year, using terraservice.net, but having to switch to terraserver.net when the former went offline. Back and forward.

I have been thinking about doing some more work on this app, and doing a shareware release, but it is issues like this which worry me. I would make it more tolerant, for example allowing a new wsdl to be downloaded, but still, the applications continued viability depends on Microsoft's continued good-will and Spray/.NET interoperability.
