Hi, I'm working on a project that consists of a REST service that's running in GAE. It's simple and written in Python with the webapp framework. I've noticed a problem where the first request to the application always returns an empty body with an HTTP status code of 200. I'm seeing this problem in both the dev server on my machine and when the app is uploaded to GAE.
The app has just one get method and one post method. These are used to add and view things in the datastore at the URI that the client is accessing. If the data is not in the data store when a client tries to GET it, the app should return a 404 and no body. If the data is there it should return the data in the body of the response with an HTTP status of 200. A POST works similarly; HTTP 200 with some data in the body if we can update the datastore and a 500 error if there was a problem. This works after the first request to the dev server or an instance, but the first request is always returned with an empty body and a status code of 200. This happens with a GET or a POST to a known good URI or even to a completely random URI that should be a 404. I have tried to debug this by using logging to see where the app is getting hung up, but strangely enough it doesn't even seem to be executing my code on the first request. Is there anything I should be looking out for here? How can I troubleshoot this? Thanks, Dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
