I'm also seeing problems with this. It's causing some pretty big problems for our app. Sometimes the xml endpoint just returns empty xml. This is happening consistently with this one account, but works fine for other accounts.
Example: coruns-macbook-pro-2:~ Corun$ curl -u Corun:_censored_ http://twitter.com/users/show/Corun.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> coruns-macbook-pro-2:~ Corun$ curl -u Corun:_censored_ http://twitter.com/users/show/Corun.json {"description":"","utc_offset":-36000,"profile_link_color":"0000ff","screen_name":"Corun","followers_count": 12,"notifications":false,"profile_background_image_url":"http:\/\/ static.twitter.com\/images\/themes\/theme1\/bg.gif","friends_count": 8,"profile_sidebar_fill_color":"e0ff92","time_zone":"Hawaii","url":null,"name":"Chris Emery","profile_sidebar_border_color":"87bc44","protected":false,"status": {"in_reply_to_status_id":null,"in_reply_to_user_id":null,"text":"\ue057 :-)","truncated":false,"favorited":false,"created_at":"Sun Dec 14 20:31:04 +0000 2008","id":1057267035,"source":"<a href=\"http:\/ \/thecosmicmachine.com\/eventbox\/\">EventBox<\/a>"},"statuses_count": 34,"profile_background_tile":false,"favourites_count": 8,"profile_background_color":"9ae4e8","following":true,"created_at":"Sun Oct 19 15:49:37 +0000 2008","location":"","id": 16852380,"profile_text_color":"000000","profile_image_url":"http:\/\/ static.twitter.com\/images\/default_profile_normal.png"} On Dec 11, 4:55 pm, "Alex Payne" <[email protected]> wrote: > We've got a fix for it in the works. > > On Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 07:16, itcn <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I think this should be evelated to bug status -- I've been seeing this > > for 3 days now. > > Sometimeshttp://twitter.com/users/show/(screen_name).xmlshows full > > info, but most of the time it doesn't.
