[OAI-implementers] Bad resumptionToken, implementation of it, or user error?

[Simeon Warner]

resumptionToken is no a verb, it is an exclusive argument for 
ListIdentifiers or ListRecords. Your request should look something 
like:

GET baseURL?verb=ListRecords&resumptionToken=APPROPRIATELY_ENCODED_RT_HERE

where APPROPRIATELY_ENCODED_RT_HERE is the URL-encoded resumptionToken.

As far as I can see, this site works fine:

oaiharvest.pl: Harvest from http://services.nsdl.org:8080/nsdloai/OAI using GET
OAIGet: Doing GET to http://services.nsdl.org:8080/nsdloai/OAI args: verb=Identify

oaiharvest.pl: Identify reports OAI-PMH version 2.0

...

Cheers,
Simeon.
