Description
See also ticket:25
When visiting the URL http://pulsararchive-int.atnf.csiro.au/conesearch.php, and providing no search parameters, the response one gets is an XML error message.
This is probably the way the simple conesearch interface is supposed to work, but I wonder if some more human-friendly output could be provided. For example, a CSS style sheet that would be ignored by robotic queries, and/or a link to an instructions page.

Done. There is now a DESCRIPTION tag that appears at the start of the XML file, briefly describing what the service provides, how to obtain the data and what the parameters are.
This tag will appear in all cases -- when the search was successful and when there was an error.
Closing ticket.
