It's not possible to access HTTP Response Headers in web-based Flash :'( Therefore web-based Flash applications have no chance of honouring the seconds in the "Retry-After" header when rate limited using the Search API (http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=foo).
Would it be possible for twitter to modify the output XML to include this value? The current output is not very useful at all: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <hash> <error>You have been rate limited. Enhance your calm.</error> </hash> -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
