Problem with choosing either (ra,dec) or (l,b) in IR spec query #11

Test s_irspectraquery_4: It tells to test proper Lcenter,Bcenter and LBradius values and check the returned json table. The URL is this one:

http://scitest02.pha.jhu.edu/SkyserverWS/dr12/IRSpectraQuery/ConeIR?limit=50&format=json&irspecparams=typical&ra=271.75&dec=-20.19&radius=5.0&Lcenter=10&Bcenter=0.2&lbRadius=5.0&jMin=&hMin=&kMin=&jMax=&hMax=&kMax=&jhMin=&hkMin=&jhMax=&hkMax=&snrMin=&vhelioMin=&scatterMin=&snrMax=&vhelioMax=&scatterMax=&tempMin=&loggMin=&fehMin=&afeMin=&tempMax=&loggMax=&fehMax=&afeMax=&irTargetFlagsOnList=ignore&irTargetFlagsOffList=ignore&irTargetFlags2OnList=ignore&irTargetFlags2OffList=ignore

The problem is that if you change Lcenter or Bcenter, the table doesn't change. Seems that the service is is only taking into account the ra,dec values.

No worries. What's missing is the positionType keyword. A missing keyword means that only the positionType = 'cone' is considered (since 'cone' is the default) and only RA,DEC coordinates are used. If we want to use the galactic L,B corrdinates instead, we have to specify positionType = 'conelb'. Ready to close.
