Re: Emails not going out?

2009-02-11 Thread El Greg

I'm still seeing this issue with direct messages and new follows
(appears to have been happening since sometime in yesterday). DMs and
followers come into twitter, but I don't get any emails (and therefore
can't process the DMs and follows, of course).

Twitter username is addnetflix

Thanks,
Greg

  Hi Eric (and others with the problem),

       Alex and I talked to our operations folks and they found some

   Doug - yeah, we haven't touched settings, and we definitely would get
   emails aplenty when new followers came in.

   Matt - thank you... it's my work account, @FLWbooks. Looking forward
   to hearing what you see.

 We had an issue with our mail server. Should be catching up, though.

[twitter-dev] 413 Request Entity Too Large for Direct Message

2010-06-13 Thread El Greg
Hi there - I'm trying to get set up with the new OAuth API for a
little app that I'm hosting on site5. When make a signed POST request
from the app on my home machine, it works just fine. When I have the
application do it on my host, the response to my curl request is a 413
Requet Entity Too large and looks like this (hope it comes out):

!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN
htmlhead
title413 Request Entity Too Large/title
/headbody
h1Request Entity Too Large/h1
The requested resourcebr //direct_messages/new.jsonbr /
does not allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data
provided in
the request exceeds the capacity limit.
pAdditionally, a 413 Request Entity Too Large
error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle
the request./p
/body/html

I'm not sure if I want to post the entire signed request and its
parameters for security reasons.  I can't understand why it would work
locally and not up on the server... Is it possible that my web host is
attaching some junk to the request that twitter is rejecting?

Bump - any idea on this? I'm trying to switch my app to OAuth before
the big switch at the end of June.

Thanks, Taylor.  Turns out I was being a bit of an idiot and not
including the POST parameters correctly in my curl request. Apparently
the error when you POST to a signed URL without any POST data is this
413 business.


Thanks again for the reply,

Greg

 Hi Greg,

 Do you have any kind of HTTP proxy active in your other location? It's
 definitely possible that they are messing with HTTP headers or proxying the
 request in some way.

 Though unrelated, you'll want to make sure that the time on your server is
 within a reasonable amount of drift from our server time (which is included
 in a HTTP header of every request).

 Is just this particular POST request failing in your site5 server, or all
 POST requests?
