Nikhil, Curious, do you see any pattern with that? 'Oftentimes' isn't quite enough context :). For example, my app barfs when you navigate away from the app and then go back by pressing the browser back button. This fails consistently for me, very repeatable its a long shot, but, perhaps thi

[orkut-developer] The Best Way to Determine The Display Language For Your App

2008-02-25 Thread Barry Welch
So, in the user profile data there is a listing of languages (ISO Codes) spoken by the user: opensocial.Person.Field.LANGUAGES_SPOKEN ... but is scanning this list the best way to tell what language to display in? How does Orkut itself decide what language to display to the user? To the point...

[orkut-developer] Forcing Expiration of Cached XML Specs

2008-02-14 Thread Barry Welch
Our team plans on doing constant minor updates to our spec and our backend API in the early days of the 'live' deploy. Because our javascript client app relies on a backend server, we never want client code to be out of sync with the backend code (like changing parameters for making calls, etc), H

[orkut-developer] Deloy Issues: Manually Expiring Cached Specs

2008-02-14 Thread Barry Welch
Our team plans on doing constant minor updates to our spec and our backend API in the early days of our 'live' deploy. How can we be sure each user that adds our app is seeing the latest and not the cached version of the spec. Seems like there should be a way to expire the xml spec cache when we m

Lane, that's a shame I think. That text is occupying the prime spot for logos and taglines, making branding more difficult. Am I supposed to do this? http://www.barrywelch.net/incredible.jpg A bit silly I think. Would be nice to have an option to either show the default text or show some image s

Arne, I think it makes sense to have this, so I will put in the request. FYI My Use Case: If I update my backend server to change an API call for my client js app, for example, its possibly going hose the cached instances. At deploy time, I want to make sure that the client spec and the server a

Yeah, but, when we deploy to production and the Spec XML is cached... how long does this caching last, and will it expire? Can I manually expire the cache for this? Because, lets say my app gets 500 users and I find a bug or want to add a new feature and so I change the code. How do I make sure th
