Web Services Specification?

I have a .pdf from this site (rr_ws_1.10.pdf) titled RadioReference.com Web Services Specification, dated 1/8/2006.

Does this document still exist, even in an updated form? I can't find it anywhere. I was expecting to find it here in the wiki, but no dice.

(And yes I know my version documents the XML 1.1 specification, but the objects and guidelines still apply.)

Since I already have it locally, I am mainly interested in an updated version, or knowing where to get it if I need it again.

Thanks in advance.

Yes I did, that's the first place I looked. Unless I'm not seeing it...that .pdf did not make the trip to this wiki page.

I know it's for the older XML 1.1 version, but again it's a good object base reference that should be included here.

I suspect the PDFs were dropped when the XML service was terminated (probably by me...). Since we're now on the SOAP interface, of what use is the old XML service when the methods are now different, from what little I understand of this?

If you want the old PDFs, a note to Lindsay might bring them - but again, they're useless now 73 Mike

Another thing to understand is that the WSDL is supposed to document the Web service quite well. We've had about 15 other software developers code to the Web service without formal docs. That's kind of the purpose of a WSDL in the first place...

Yes, I get the WSDL. Just making sure I wasn't missing something akin to what was provided with the previous service. Thanks.
