Hi Richard,
I believe that the only way to do this at present is to construct a GET request URL string, exactly like the mart links on the left panel of Ensembl's ComparaView. This supports only a limited range of functions, e.g. only a single dataset can be queried at once.
Hmm, it would be a pity if I was linited to GET requests, because the queries I would like to send could be very large (thousands of filter terms), which would likely hit the limit of the number of characters allowed in a URL. The other potential problem that occurred to me is that Mart sets up a unique session each time the user starts using martview, and this would somehow need to be simulated as well. Cheers, David.
