Hi Frank,

The static HTML you're seeing if from our Apache instance to it is static. I need to track down what request you sent so I can find the root cause. I'll check into 500s from November 27th, but as you can expect the log has a fair number due to scripts trying every URL under the sun. If you have received a 500 recently, and know the URL you requested, it would be most helpful. As for the 502, that's a different error and caused when we can't find an available mongrel to handle your request. We have fewer of those than ever before but at peak times I still see a few creep trhough. We're doing everything we can to fix them.

Just wondering if there has been any progress on this issue... Can
anyone at Twitter chime in?

For what it's worth... I'm still experiencing the problem.  Just had
it happen again this morning.


Thanks,

Hey Matt,

I received the error message again this morning.  It always returns
the same error message in the HTML body:

-----------
<span style="font-size:1.8em; font-weight:bold">Something is
technically wrong.</span>
<br />
<div style="font-size:1.2em;margin-top:2px;color:#b6b6a3">
    Thanks for noticing—we're  going to fix it up and  have things
back to normal soon.
</div>
<br />

I suspect nobody's around at Twitter during Thanksgiving ;)  Hoping
you can give me some feedback when you're back from the holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey Matt,

Thanks for looking into it for me.

I went back to my system logs and actually did find a case where it
happened to me:

http://pastebin.com/m2e1ae375

If you look at the timestamp, this was on Nov. 13 @ 14:53:20 (EST). I
also found other occurrences:

- 2008-11-12 16:54:16 (EST)
- 2008-11-18 15:54:23 (EST)

Maybe this will give you some further insight.  In my case, however,
the server returned a 502 instead of a 500 serve error.

Let me know if you come across anything.  I'd love to get this
resolved.

Thanks again,
Frank

Hi Frank,

Nothing comes right to mind. I'll start looking through logs and see if I can find anything. Is the issue always with / favorites.json?
Do you have a general idea when this started, or when you started
receiving reports of it?

Hey Matt,

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this myself. I have, however, had quite a few users email me with their logs and each of
them has the exact same payload.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Frank

Hi Frank,

A 500 is normally an error on the Twitter side. Can you provide
an example account where you're seeing this?

Thanks;

Hey everyone,

I've been receiving quite a few reports lately where users are
experiencing issue with requesting the timeline. I've asked for log
reports, and each and every single one of them includes the
following:

http://pastebin.com/m36523b99

I'm hoping someone could shed light on the situation... I'm not sure what would be causing this (other than load on Twitter's servers). The only thing that concerns me is that I don't know whether other
clients are experiencing the same issue -- I'm thinking not.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Frank
