Dan,
You the man once again !!!
Yes, I noticed the redirection in HttpWatch, but I thought it existed
from a long time and didn't take that into consideration for this
problem. Co-incidentally, since this issue came around the time when
iGoogle layout was redesigned, I was more interested in those changes
that might have caused this problem.
And yes, I have submitted a request for recaching my gadget. Looks
like the chances of survival for inlined gadgets are going down every
month, I should probably start working towards converting this gadget
into a non-inlined one.
Thanks for you help Dan. Just curious - How long will it take for a
recache request to go through?
Thanks once again
-Uday
