Issue with MGE provider

[cthoyt]

The mge provider has the wrong format URL.

Actual: http://aclame.ulb.ac.be/perl/Aclame/Genomes/mge_view.cgi?view=info&id=mge:{$id} Expected: http://aclame.ulb.ac.be/perl/Aclame/Genomes/mge_view.cgi?view=info&id={$id}

Example: http://aclame.ulb.ac.be/perl/Aclame/Genomes/mge_view.cgi?view=info&id=00000063

I'm getting connection timeouts. Perhaps it went offline?

Same here, it seems to have been dead for a long time. The Bioregistry has an automated weekly health check for all prefixes that we can look into to see if it's dead or maybe just an issue today. Here's what it's been saying for the last few months, it seems to be consistently down:

date	working
2023-01-01	False
2022-12-25	False
2022-12-18	False
2022-12-11	False
2022-12-04	False
2022-11-27	False
2022-11-20	False
2022-11-13	False
2022-11-06	False
2022-10-30	False
2022-10-23	False
2022-10-16	False
2022-10-09	False
2022-10-02	False
2022-09-28	False
2022-09-28	False
2022-09-28	False
2022-09-28	False

Code:

import yaml
import requests
from tabulate import tabulate

res = requests.get("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/biopragmatics/bioregistry/main/docs/_data/health.yaml")
data = yaml.safe_load(res.text)
rv = []
for run in data["runs"]:
    for result in run["results"]:
        if result["prefix"] == "mge":
            rv.append((run["date"], result.get("status_code") == 200))

print(tabulate(rv, headers=["date", "working"], tablefmt="github"))

I'm going to deactivate this namespace. I can't find anything online about a relocation nor can I contact the people involved. Thank you @cthoyt for bring this up.
