[orkut-developer] Length limit for URL's
Hi developers, I thought I'd write a post to share with you something I recently observed: links with big URL's (more than 500 characters) don't work properly on activity stream updates, scraps, e-mails, or anywhere general. Using huge URLs is not a good practice in general, since certain browsers have undocumented limits on URL handling, but our limit is lower than most browsers, to play it safe. We also use URL rewriting sometimes to route things through our cache to decrease latency, so that may consume as much as 160 characters from the URL. Moral of the story: don't use huge URLs. Particularly, since our limit is 512, and up to 160 can be used up in rewriting, and leaving some space for escaping special characters on the rewrite, I'd say the safe limit would be around 200. And that's still a pretty long URL: http://this.is.an.example.url.with.200.chars/as.you.can.see.i.can.write.a.lot.of.stuff/anditwillstillfit/wow/its/only/130/characters/this/far/im/getting/tired/of/typing/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups orkut Developer Forum group.

[orkut-developer] Re: New features: configurable app width and container version!
Yep. If you don't do anything, your app will continue to be 835px wide (both on the new and old UI). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups orkut Developer Forum group.

Re: [orkut-developer] Re: New features: configurable app width and container version!
First, congratulations, really great feature :) How container defines available width? Do it check browser's window width or the max width is fixed in UI? Thanks.

[orkut-developer] orkut AppReviewer
Hi, I just got an email with the following text: While reviewing your app, we observed: - There were HTTP problems fetching the following URLs referenced by your application. Please make sure that all referenced resources are available and reliably served: http://mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=m@145hl=ensrc=apix=0y=0z=0s= But, what is this link provided in the message?

[orkut-developer] Re: Attention: AS post and Profile View size will be adjusted soon. Please update your apps!
so what are the current widths?

You don't have to do anyting :-) If your application does not use flexible HTML and is specifically tailored to the current widths, please update it as soon as you can! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups orkut Developer Forum group.

[orkut-developer] Re: AppReviewer now checking live apps -- you may receive e-mails!
today I got another series of identical emails which look like so: - The app took too long to load. Some of the possible reasons for this are: (1) perhaps you are displaying a modal dialog (popup). If this is the case, please remove the popup; (2) perhaps the code that executes when the page loads is taking too long to finish.Are you doing too much processing? An infinite loop? Are you performing a synchronousoperation involving the network?; (3) perhaps you are trying to load too many resources (images, media, scripts, etc). Perhaps it's best to cut back on resources or load them later instead of trying to do that when the page is first shown; (4) there might be a vulnerability in the way user-generated-content is rendered, that is, perhaps there is a way to exploit your application to make it run arbitrary code. Please sanitize all user- generated content, including names, comments, messages, titles and other fields. I checked and all mentioned apps are loading just fine and fast. It looks like another false positive. Not to mention no popups are used and also some of the apps in uestion are so light that do not use external scripts or any images - and yet I get these emails. Other apps do use scripts and images but that should not be an issue since modern sites all use images. All images are cached btw. Is it neccessary to send this kind of emails? thanks On Feb 17, 12:00 am, Bruno Oliveira (\btco\) bru...@google.com wrote: Yes, for now AppReviewer doesn't know who got the name first, so he sends both authors the same warning about the duplicate name. We'll figure out (and tell everyone) how we'll deal with this kind of situation when we're ready to launch AppReviewer for real. For now, consider the name clash detection feature as a beta feature... no one's app will be removed for name clashes yet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups orkut Developer Forum group.
