Is it similar to this: http://imgur.com/Z8ter1w ? I tried fetching the URL via a Python app and a Java app, and received the same error from each (above linked image); but retrieving the URL succeeds if I use my local machine, a Yahoo Pipe, or other external machines on different networks. It's difficult to say what's actually happening, but it looks like that URL uses DNS servers hosted in China. It's possible that there are some Chinese firewalls or other blocks preventing Google from looking up that address. It might be interesting if you file an issue and see what Google says <https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/list>, but in the short term you'll have to use a proxy to retrieve that address. ----------------- -Vinny P Technology & Media Advisor Chicago, IL App Engine Code Samples: http://www.learntogoogleit.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
