You may need to create a proxy on some other domain. Yahoo gets flooded with request from AppEngine Ips. As a result there are many times a day you will get the "your IP has been blocked" (they say it nicer) error.
You will see the same thing from some of google's own APIs You can solve this by using an off site proxy, just a php page that does Curl URL, Echo Buffer will work. -Brandon -----Original Message----- From: google-appengine@googlegroups.com [mailto:google-appeng...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Bernard Maltais Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 9:48 AM To: Google App Engine Subject: [google-appengine] Yahoo denying access to "pipes" rss feed from Google App Engine urlfetch My Google App Engine that fetch rss data from yahoo pipes (example: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=11f0a5c9fefd8add01e7759faafcb8f7&_ render=rss) are getting rejected by Yahoo with the following error: "Sorry, Unable to process request at this time -- error 999.
