FDSN services being looked at

Hello all,

With the old IRIS services being deprecated soon,  I've been tasked with helping to test ObsPy's FDSN connection.  I've spent the last week (and more) getting acquainted with the fdsn branch of obspy (and with Git..).   Mostly, I've been adding  tests and have also included a couple data files for use in testing  These have pushed test coverage up to 83% for obspy/fdsn/client.  While poking around I also did some refactoring... and although it's in my nature, I tried to keep changes down to a minimum. 

I haven't sent a pull request yet, since some of my tests are still being rewritten and/or moved around, but I wanted to touch base, and let you know that I'm looking at it. Hopefully, I'll have finished cleaning up the code tomorrow.  After this, I'll also check into obspy/iris to see if there's anything that I could contribute.

This is great stuff, and I really enjoy how active this project is.  

Here's a link to my branch for what it's worth...
