 == Detectability Queries ==
 
+Note the detectability server has some interface and implementation issues. It is no being used and has fallen into disrepair.
 The detectability server is implemented as part of the postage stamp server.  Detectability queries are submitted to the same machine, the file is just a slightly different file format: [wiki:sample_dquery_request example].  Everything the same, just a different file.  A draft update to the IPP-MOPS ICD describing the implemented detectability server is [wiki:detectability_ICD_proposal here].  The code annotation/documentation is available [wiki:detectability_code_documentation here].
