Fail gracefully with broken dependencies #9

Closed timrobertson100 closed 7 years ago

Because EOL removed the extensions the rs.gbif.org synchronisation failed and left the IPT extension registry in a bad state returning broken JSON. This causes IPTs to fail.

We should either harden up the synchronisation to tolerate this, or remove the dependency on external schemas which can go offline. Given EOL haven't changed them in a while, perhaps we should bring them into this project.
