HTTP Error on the name autocomplete during PMs
Mon, 2010-10-25 14:32
Something that has come up twice now, first time was finding it, second was replicate it. Every so often when I try and send a PM to someone, I put their name into the To window, it tries to autocomplete and then it outputs an error.
"the page at http://eclipsephase.com says:
An HTTP error 0 occured.
http://www.eclipsephase.com/messages/user-name-autocomplete"
Strangely enough it doesn't do this all the time. Sometimes it goes through just fine, others it errors. Both times using the same username (RobBoyle, so I know that the account definitly exists 
)

It wasn't just today, it was also happening saturday before the server troubles. It also appears to still be doing it, atleast for me. Type in a few characters, wait a second and it gives the error message three times before doing nothing.

Re: HTTP Error on the name autocomplete during PMs
Hm. Unfortunately that error indicates that the AJAX attempt to retrieve a name failed. Usually that means the page on the other end of the request where the name is being looked up and returned, has failed to load. Unfortunately, intermittent failure to load when the system is otherwise functioning normally is usually a server resource type of error. I'm seeing this occasionally on a number of the autocomplete fields and am looking for a solution within our current hosting structure - but there might not be one. I wish I had better news for you there. :-/
Our server was having some troubles today - which hopefully have passed by now. I turned off our Clean URLs configuration and turned it back on and things seem at least a little bit more stable now. Let us know if that changes!
I fix broken things. Should you need to get a feature on eclipsephase.com fixed, mention it on the suggestions board and we'll look into it for you. I also fix Darkcast and the Darkcast Wiki
