Hi Chris Draycott,

I am working on a project for a class.  I attempted to download bookmark data as a JSON feed.  I received the same error as described in this thread.  The response I received from the url was the following:

<!-- fe03.feeds.del.ac4.yahoo.net uncompressed/chunked Thu Apr 30 16:10:03 PDT 2009 -->

I verified that my code works with other feeds.  So, I guess the problem others experienced has reappeared.  If you could help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

progmanos

Hi,

This server was having some problems it seems, so we've removed it. Things should be back to normal. Apologies for the inconvenience, and thanks for reporting it.
