[webservices] EVALRESP webservice released

[Bruce Weertman]

Hello Webservice users,

The DMC is pleased to announce the release of the ws-evalresp  
webservice.

  http://www.iris.edu/ws/evalresp

The ws-evalresp service evaluates channel response metadata held in  
the IRIS-DMC's database
and can return amplitude-phase Bode plots as well as ASCII text files.

This webservice should be useful to users who wish to visualize  
instrument response and to those who
wish to obtain evaluated instrument response in the frequency domain.

As with most of our other webservices, ws-evalresp accepts simple HTTP  
GET query parameters.
