Another maintenance-related question - are things completely back up and running? I'm asking because I'm seeing inconsistent behavior.

In my servers logs, I'm seeing a number of timeouts when talking to Twitter. Also, when I try to run curl commands from my servers to Twitter, they are _extremely_ slow, sometimes timing out. Some of my servers are systems that regularly communicate with Twitter while others rarely do so.

However, when I run the same curl command from my desktop, it runs in a snap.

I don't recall seeing anything like this in the past, where there would be such a consistent difference between the two environments.

Eric,
I was right next to Alex when he made the fix for Issue 300 and I remember seeing it deployed. I'll check into it.


Thanks,
Doug

Yeah, I filed 300 a while ago and it was marked as fixed, so I was surprised when I saw HTML.

Any reason the API is serving up an HTML page instead of the normal error XML?

@Michael: Yes. The OAuth server makes use of the twitter.com web servers as well as the database backing store which is the focus of the maintenance.

Hi all.

To clarify: the site will be down. twitter.com and search.twitter.com will fail to serve content while the back end changes are being made.

Thanks,
Doug

That is usually what "site maintenance" means...

In my experience, a maintenance window means that the site could be down for any or all of that period. The way Doug wrote it, I'd imagine that they expect the site will only be down for a short time, but they're reserving an hour in case it takes longer for unanticipated reasons.

We shall see...
