Hi
This query (generated by the url builder) returns no events, even though
there was a mag 7.6 earthquake in Turkey in that time range. Even odder,
there is an origin in the NEIC PDE-M catalog for this event,
originId=4908041, but it is not returned.
http://www.iris.edu/ws/event/query?starttime=1999-08-17T00:00:00&endtime=1999-08-17T23:59:00&minmag=7&contributor=NEIC+PDE-M&orderby=time&output=xml
I am assuming that what happens is that I did not select
"includeallorigins", and so this query only looked at "primary" origins.
But it seems to me that if I say "use NEIC PDE-M", then the query should
use that contributor even if it is no longer considered "primary".
I suppose "includeallorigins" is a workaround, but it seems counter
intuitive to not be able to retrieve from a specific catalog/contributor.
thanks,
Philip
