Re: [Hipgmap-developers] Google not responding?

[Karl G. <kg...@ya...>]

Doing a little legwork to track this down...

First of all, another app which uses HTTPConnection etc (AcidAngel's horoscope
program, find it on skdr) works fine. Although at times, my syslog lists a
bunch of lines like:

(214) DispatchHTTPTransaction caught: java.lang.NullPointerException

hmmm... I don't see them now though so who knows why those were there. Anyway,
the search requests were providing a response that wasn't 200, so I added a
little bit to print the complete response, and here's what I got:

(365) Response: 500 dbp timeout

"dbp timeout" is what response.getResponseMessage() returns. I have no idea
what a dbp timeout could possibly be. It's looking more and more like a
Google-specific problem though.
