[quote user="rondata@myspace"]  I'm having some issues as well.  Hold on while I check a few things. Anyone else? check in!!   Rhonda  [/quote]   Yes, I am seeing problems with several apps on my page either failing to load or loading very very slowly.  Occasionally I see error messages of ...

Yes, this changed over the weekend.  These are now being passed as http headers instead of query string parameters.  The header names are X-Opensocial-Owner-Id and X-Opensocial-Viewer-Id

It would be good to have definitive information about this.  I hate the idea of my app being automatically uninstalled from all accounts any time I need to fix a bug.   Even if it turns out that the app is automatically re-installed for everyone after reapproval, it would be helpful to know how much down time to expect for this ...

[quote user="James"] yeah I see that, but opensocial.getEnvironment().getParams() does not contain the appParams element so they remain undefined... ...or am i missunderstaanding? Have you got this working?   thanks [/quote]  Yes, I just tested this and it works for me.  I simply copied the sample code above, but ...

James,  I believe that the bug Chad alluded to in his initial post has been fixed, so now you should just access this:     opensocial.getEnvironment().getParams() instead of this:     opensocial.getEnvironment().getParams().appParams

I can confirm that this problem occurs even if you are a friend of the app (and thus able to see the profile surface).  I reported a similar problem here: http://developer.myspace.com/Community/forums/t/639.aspx

It appears that makeRequest() decodes url encoded data before sending it to the server.  The only workaround I have found is to double-encode my data before calling this function. Here is a sample app that I used to test this: <script type="text/javascript"> function test_request(double_encode) {   var ...

I am unable to view the canvas surface of an application on my friend's page unless I have the app installed myself.  This is true even if I am a friend of the app and can see the profile surface fine. To reproduce this problem, my friend copied the sample code from this ...

I have noticed that certain characters can not be passed through params this way.  For example, if you type the string "a&b" into this sample app, it will not be displayed after the navigation.  Url escaping the parameter values seems to work around the problem.
