I have to say - I know it's being worked on as top priority and they're doing their best - but this is an appalling problem. Google has a great reputation and the service has performed excellently for us over 18 months - how can such a mature service fail in such a basic and simple way as *malformed XML*!? How can the code producing the response even work with malformed XML to begin with? It's mind boggling to say the least.
Anyway, I appreciate the tech support's efforts and look forward to a solution in the very near future. -Brendan On Jul 23, 2:19 pm, Harpoon <[email protected]> wrote: > Phew!
