I have noticed that this issue occurs for users that have friend/ follower sets greater than 1000. For instance the three cases I mentioned in my previous post all had friend/follower sets in the thousands. There could be exceptions and maybe Dossy Shiobara has come across cases where the sets were below a 1000, but for my application the sets were >= 1000. The users this happens to are pretty random and there is no one specific user that consistantly has their XML request truncated but I will let you know if I find any.
Hope this helps. - Atif On Apr 30, 12:54 pm, Doug Williams <d...@twitter.com> wrote: > How big are the friend/follower sets? Are they large?
