Seems like the response now contains malformed xml...

I usually do this when I want people to stop using a webservice ; )

Not sure if this is the case.

Sadly, this is not a bug, but an external issue. The webservice this library uses is down right now... It is throwing 404's and service unavailable errors.

I believe this service can be run independently. If you would like to do so, I can make the API URL customizable so you can point it to your own web service. Check it out: http://sw.opencyc.org/

Let me know.

thanks!

I'm gonna give containerizing this service a shot, If that succeeds I'd appreciate the ability to use a custom opencyc web service endpoint.

wish me luck :)
