[webservices] includeavailability

[Joachim Saul]

Hello,

how frequently is the availability information updated at the IRIS 
server side? If I do now an inventory request using e.g.
http://service.iris.edu/fdsnws/station/1/query?network=IU&station=ANMO&channel=BHZ&location=10&level=channel&includeavailability=TRUE&start=2014-11-26T12:00:00
then I get as availability time span for that stream

<DataAvailability><Extent start="1998-10-26T20:35:58" 
end="2014-11-25T12:00:00"/></DataAvailability>

which ends about a day ago. However, the data are there (of course) and 
I can retrieve them using
http://service.iris.edu/fdsnws/dataselect/1/query?network=IU&station=ANMO&channel=BHZ&location=10&start=2014-11-26T12:00:00&end=2014-11-26T12:10:00

In other words the availability information is not in sync with the 
actual data holdings. Not just for IU.ANMO but for many more 
stations/networks. Is this intentional? It currently prevents me from 
making use of the otherwise very useful availability info when 
requesting data from a few hours ago.

Regards
Joachim
