Hi,

Currently experiencing some inconsistent behaviour with the API in which 
fetching via the browser gives a response,

but my own app ('MapThePaths', part of a project intended to help map footpaths 
and edit designation tags in the UK) frequently hangs waiting for a response.


MapThePaths uses the osmapi (Tobias Zwick) to fetch data.


Is there any reason currently why the API might be responding to standard web 
browsers but not custom apps?


FWIW my app should be reporting itself as "MapThePaths Android app" and I have 
just (around 16:35-16:40 UK time) made three unsuccessful requests with the 
bbox:  
-0.7295872761598865,51.09355911139382,-0.7005316007485753,51.11122494429744.


Sometimes, however, my app is retrieving data from OSM successfully (perhaps 
60-70% of the time).

No exception is thrown - just looks like a timeout.


I also observed similar behaviour 'in the field' yesterday afternoon when I was 
using the app in the countryside. The app could talk to my own API on 
mapthepaths.org.uk successfully but could not communicate with the OSM API.


Is this simply related to the issues with the OSM API at the moment related to 
moving to another server?


Thanks,

Nick
