+This service used to run at http://guess.taverna.org.uk/ before moving to Apache infrastructure.
+Apache does not have a way to host servlets (as scufl2-info is implemented as), so temporarily
+this uses a slow cgi-bin hack.
+
+TODO: Rewrite as a python CGI-script?

+/scufl2info/ is redirected to from auto-generated URLs like http://ns.taverna.org.uk/2011/run/385c794c-ba11-4007-a5b5-502ba8d14263/ - see:

+`.htaccess` redirects to [/cgi-bin/scufl2info.cgi](../../cgi-bin/scufl2info.cgi)
+which executes the jar of [scufl2-info](../../scripts/scufl2-info/) - see the
+[scufl2-info README](../../scripts/scufl2-info/README.d) for details.

+
+Note that as the cgi-bin script has a very slow startup (~ 4 seconds/request), 
+`/scufl2info/` and `/cgi-bin/` are is excluded in [robots.txt](../robots.txt).
