Hi again,
I looked into this and it does indeed happen with "posts/update". It
is still happening frequently.
It seems to just return most of the time:
<!-- fe07.api.del.ac4.yahoo.net uncompressed/chunked Mon Mar 9
14:31:53 PDT 2009 -->
Also it does not seem to be returning a 500 error when it does this.
This confirms what Jerry found previously.
It appears that the only reliable way to get around this is to call
"posts/update" and then try again soon afterwards. If you back off
for another 30 minutes, then you will likely get this problem again.
This is affecting the users of my app WebnoteHappy. I could issue a
fix that calls "posts/update" twice in quick succession, but this does
not seem like a good long term solution.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Louie
