I'm in a ugly situation. Due to a 3rd party gadget in a wave which has my robot as a participant, the bot is depleting it's Incoming Bandwidth quota after only 4 hours.
That gadget -- judging from the bot's logs it's http://www.razorcam.com/seconds_spent_by_everyone_reading.xml -- causes an OnBlipSubmitted every second. This means that every second the entire context is being pushed into the robot. I tried looking at the participant list in the wave through the normal wave client, but the list is huge (1000+), and there is no way to scroll through it, so that I can't find my bot to remove it from there. (Ok, fixed that, got a computer with a bigger screen and used the ctrl- to make the page smaller) I've seen a removeSelf or something similar in the API which allows a bot to remove itself from a wave, but at that time, about a month ago, it was not implemented. Maybe there should be a place where we can submit robots/gadgets that should be blacklisted due to unfair behaviour, and maybe the docs should mention the side effects of implementing a highly active extension. Or maybe an extra element in the capabilities.xml file which defines which waves, or submissions from certain robots or gadgets should be excluded from being processed. I truely doubt that razorcam.com had bad intentions, so I'm not angry at all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Wave API" group.
