Thanks for the reply. No network changes have occurred and I've carefully checked - the machine can be seen beyond the firewall.    I'm new to web dev; I have and use firebug but specifically what do you recommend?  I've checked the return codes from gadgets.io.makeRequest (undefined) as well as the value of the ...

  I have a published app as well as a test app.  The code is the same with one exception - the server address.  I have two duplicate servers; one for deployment and one for staging.   If I point makerequest to my datacenter deployment server, everything works fine.  If I point it at my staging server, by watching ...

[quote user="ZeroSleep"] Smart, it's a hack -- but you can do this just before re-calling makeRequest: if (MyOpenSpace && MyOpenSpace.Ajax) {     MyOpenSpace.Ajax.activeContentConnections = [ ];      } [/quote]    This completely solved my problem.  Thank you. 

Help me understand, because I'm not sure the error I'm looking at is really gone (there are likely multiple).   Am I absolutely, 100% guaranteed that makeRequest will complete successfully?  This seems like a glaring hole; surely it will give up if the other side doesn't respond fast enough.. how do I know that happened, or ...

 Can you give me an idea of how to do so in Firebug?  I'll be happy to try.  I think I can somewhat easily recreate this because of my testing setup.   I wonder why you need this?  Granted I haven't seen the opensocial/myspace architecture here, but the tracing you're asking for sounds more like a profiling ...

 I'm trying to chase down the reliability problems in my app, and I think I'm hitting the same thing.  I can give you sample code that seems to show this behaviour.  It's simplified but this is the gist of it:   function init() {        printstatus("entered init()");  ...

 I went back to doublecheck, because I hadn't considered that [they may not be coming from myspace], but the referer pretty much says that they are.  It's arising out of a user action (casting a vote).   I'll be adding error checking now.  It's not in place because I'm not the biggest fan of javascript ...

I'm using (still, haven't updated because it WORKS) opensocial.makeRequest() to fetch some data from the backend.  99.99% of the time, this works fine.  But I'm getting 82000 pageviews a day, and about 20-30 of these result in absolutely empty queries happening to my backend.  Nothing in GET/POST/cookies.  ...

I'm getting a small stream of views to the canvas where the GET variables are properly populated from makerequest, but every once in a while I get one where the opensocial_viewer_id is -1.    What is this?  I can't replicate this, so I don't know how to handle it.   Just guessing:  I know there's a ...

Wait.. wtmf?  I'm confused now!   This profile has my app added, and it's a MySpace Music profile too!  So what gives?  Is there a magic incarnation I can tell my users to do to add this?  Is it because she's in ...
