When you exceed the per-second geocoding speed limit, or the daily geocoding quota, the HTTP status of the reply is set to 403 (Forbidden) and the Google Status.code to 620 (G_GEO_TOO_MANY_QUERIES).
In most server languages you can ignore the HTTP status and look at the returned data anyway to see the Google Status.code 620, but in some implementations of some server languages the presence of 403 in the HTTP header throws an error and you don't get to see the data. If you can't look at the data when you get HTTP:403, you should try to catch the 403 error and treat it the same as you would a G_GEO_TOO_MANY_QUERIES. The HTTP:403 code that Google returns is technically correct. There are a limited range of HTTP status codes, and 403 is the one that most closely fits the situation. -- Mike Williams http://econym.org.uk/gmap -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
