yeah i tried redirecting them, but it looks like they don't follow redirects. Any other suggestions?

yeah i am forcing them to get a 404 error, it is just really annoying and using quota.

[google-appengine] Re: Updating an object fails when accessing application through Twilio
Look in your twilio account, in the debugger it will tell you what the twilio api is doing and what url it is acting on. I have a few apps using twilio and GAE. On Dec 28, 3:39 pm, Ikai L (Google) ika...@google.com wrote: I'm not familiar with Twilio. Is it their client that is doing the GET or POST? It's possible they are not passing the parameters correctly if it works for you in a normal browser connected directly to your application. Can you log the incoming parameters and URI string with their request on the server side?

The parameters are: Caller, Digits Using those two parameters it actually updates an object in the datastore. The problem I'm having is that if I use a web browser to access the link which receives the parameters everything works fine, the records are updated. However, when I point my Twilio phone number to the application it actually looks like it is working fine over the phone, the process goes as it's supposed to look but the record never gets updated (i'm passing the exact same parameters.

[google-appengine] Re: Watch out for this subtle performance killer
so what is the best practice if something is added to the datamodel, and you have already cached it, just to remove the memcache key and reload? On Nov 21, 6:41 am, dburns drrnb...@gmail.com wrote: I thought I'd share this, since I'm sure there are others that have fallen into the same trap using this very common pattern (in this sample, Pix derives from db.Model; get_pics is called on every page load): def get_pics(self): pics = memcache.get(pics) if pics is None: pics = Pix.gql(LIMIT 100) memcache.add(pics, pics, 300) # Good for 5 minutes return pics See the bug? Here, memcache is actually HURTINGperformancesince the overhead of memcache is there but it saves nothing at all. The query is still executed on every page load when the calling code iterates through the result. http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/queryclass.htm... mentions this by saying creating a new iterator from the Query object will re-execute the query, but it doesn't highlight this pitfall. The issue here is that entities are not fetched on the Pix.gql line. Instead, that simply returns a Query object. The results are actually fetched when the calling code begins to iterate (in Python-speak, the __iter__() method on the Query is what actually fetches entities). To fix this, you'd change the gql line to : pics = list(Pix.gql(LIMIT 100)) Putting a list() around the Pix.gql forces the query to happen at that moment. Then the list of entities is stored in memcache, not the Query object itself. I'm not sure if this applies to the Java API too, but it's worth a heads-up.

[google-appengine] Re: Google voice on app engine
So Google voice doesn't have an official api but if you goto http://code.google.com/p/pygooglevoice/. You can use this to most of what google voice can do. But when you put this on the google app engine it fails due to gae changing the host header back for security reasons.
