ESO VOSpace Pilot installation ready for Interoperability testing

[Paul Harrison]

We now have a pilot VOSpace 1.0 installation available for  
interoperability testing.

The endpoint of the service is http://vops1.hq.eso.org:8080/vospace/ 
services/VOSpacePort

and the vospace root URL is vos://org.eso!vospacetest/

It implements the v1.0 interface with http-put and http-get  
transports (which have a crude one-time-password mechanism) and  
stores the data/metadata in a back-end NGAS system. There are stlll  
some inefficiencies in the implementation that require some changes  
to the NGAS backend, but otherwise I think that this provides minimal  
VOSpace compliance.

I think that I have put in place the necessary security  
infrastructure to accept requests signed by certificates from the  
current Astrogrid and NVO CAs.

N.B. this is a pilot installation - do not use to store important/ 
sensitive data - there is no guarantee of data safety.

Paul.

p.s. I have started a new wiki page http://www.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/ 
view/IVOA/VOSpaceHome to centralize the VOSpace information
