NAME

Bio::Phylo::PhyloWS::Service::Timetree - PhyloWS service wrapper for Timetree

SYNOPSIS

 # inside a CGI script:
 use CGI;
 use Bio::Phylo::PhyloWS::Service::Timetree;

 my $cgi = CGI->new;
 my $service = Bio::Phylo::PhyloWS::Service::Timetree->new( '-url' => $url );
 $service->handle_request($cgi);

DESCRIPTION

This is an example implementation of a PhyloWS service. The service wraps around the timetree web site (using screen scraping) and returns project objects that include a tree for every search result.

 Comments: This method is called by handle_request so that
           services can 303 redirect a record lookup to 
           another URL. By default, this method returns 
           undef (i.e. no redirect), but if this implementation
           is called to handle a request that specifies 
           'format=html' the request is forwarded to the
           appropriate page on the http://timetree.org website
