Twitter Not Updating?

[6719jason]

Is it just me, or is Twitter not accepting or showing updates from Cumulus?

In the past week, it has displayed around only 10% of the amount it should have done?

I have PM'ed Steve and he has agreed there appears to be some sort of issue, I just wondered if anyone on here could shed some light on it?

There are large gaps in mine, e.g:

# Wind 32.7 mph WSW. Barometer 1005.22 mb, Rising quickly. Temperature 14.5 °C. Rain today 0.0 mm. Humidity 80% 41 minutes ago from API
# Wind 32.7 mph WSW. Barometer 1004.61 mb, Rising quickly. Temperature 14.7 °C. Rain today 0.0 mm. Humidity 82% about 1 hour ago from API
# Wind 33.9 mph WSW. Barometer 1004.17 mb, Rising quickly. Temperature 14.9 °C. Rain today 0.0 mm. Humidity 81% about 2 hours ago from API
# Wind 30.3 mph WSW. Barometer 1003.39 mb, Rising quickly. Temperature 14.1 °C. Rain today 0.0 mm. Humidity 88% about 2 hours ago from API
# Wind 12.1 mph SSE. Barometer 1004.54 mb, Falling. Temperature 13.4 °C. Rain today 1.8 mm. Humidity 95% about 13 hours ago from API
# Wind 9.7 mph SE. Barometer 1005.15 mb, Falling. Temperature 13.3 °C. Rain today 1.8 mm. Humidity 96% about 13 hours ago from API

There's nothing on the Twitter status page to indicate a current problem. I've turned on my debug log to see if any error messages are being returned.

I haven't had a tweet appear since 5 Sept

My debug has the following recent entries

Code: Select all

2232.02938 : 11:26:31 Updating Twitter
2232.02938 : http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
2232.03907 : 11:26:32 Twitter Response Code: 0 Response = 

Looking back at earlier logs the response from twitter should be some XML rather than nothing!

Hope this helps

Yes, I think it just returns the tweet as XML. If it's returning a success response when it's failing, that's going to be a bit hard to investigate!

[steve]

Actually, I think I may be logging winsock errors instead of http response codes...

Twitter would appear to be working again. I was able to post using Twitter within IE and I also see updates from the Cumulus API.

Lets hope it stays that way.

That's typical. I've changed Cumulus so it logs the http response correctly, and I'm waiting for it to fail again

[daj]

still no update from me -- Steve, have you updated?

EDIT -- in fact if I go onto Twitter I can see you updated two hours ago!

[steve]

The error code is 408 - which is a timeout.

Others are seeing the problem too:

here also; seems like a problem with auto-api on the receive side. .

It seems the auto-uploads may be running into this:

Twitter is over capacity.

Too many tweets! Please wait a moment and try again.

I gave up today and have stopped Tweeting; I see no benefit in Cumulus sending the data, Twitter accepting but ignoring it and any followers having inaccurate and outdated info.
