Hi all,
Looks like there might be some problems on our side here.
In the case where you get no xml response back you should be getting an HTTP response code of 500, but I agree that is not ideal (some xml that you can see and parse would be much better). We're working on changing that.
In addition, we've ironed out some other issues and while you still might get this empty response, it should be much less frequent now.
