Research direction

Start by locating the GAIA server query implementation and its existing tests, then compare their assumptions with the alternative server at http://gaia.ari.uni-heidelberg.de/tap.html. Done means the test coverage exercises an alternate GAIA server and supported server choices can be configured, but the issue does not identify specific files or tests.
