conesearch.query - Function

Query a conesearch

Synopsis
query(i, ra, dec, sr, url)

Description
This queries a specific conesearch. The VOTable is returned as a record parsed by the gxmlparser tool.

The service is denoted by an integer - the index of the service in the list.

To facilitate testing of non-registered services, the query also accepts a URL. This must be the same URL as expected by the conesearch registry. For example for the NVSS conesearch being developed at the NRAO, this would be

http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/e2e/java/NVSSConeSearchServlet?
