Simple Image Access (SIA) Service Validation

To test an SIA Service, enter its base URL below along with a position and region size that you expect to return at least two records, then press "validate".

Unless the "Results Format" is set to "VOTable", this service will actually send three queries to the service. In addition to the query specified below, a metadata query (where FORMAT=METADATA) and an erroneous query are also sent. When the "VOTable" format is selected, only the VOTable response to the query below is returned directly to the browser.
