hi all. we''re using the ruby/amazon library (http://www.caliban.org/ruby/ruby-amazon.shtml), which totally rocks. but i''m noticing that when nobody has used our site in a while (it''s under development, so basically nobody uses it at night), the ruby/amazon calls sometimes fail. seems like something times out, perhaps. anybody have similar issues, or know what might be causing this? and on a related note, anybody know if this library is still under development? it does what it does fantastically, but it hasn''t been updated in a while, and doesn''t support the latest and greatest from the amazon api. best, john ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Failures aren''t that uncommon. It doesn''t happen every day, but it does fail for a while most days. It seems to be on Amazon''s side. When it occurs, if I go to Amazon and check a book''s page, the rank is always missing there as well. Jared http://JaredRichardson.net -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
