Hi (this is a repost from my question in the other Xdrive forum; today I just found out that got moved to a weird place and generally the system just looks chaotic right now),

Looks like there is implementation bug in the io.thumbnail[small|medium|large] APIs. (Most likely just in the -medium API.)

I have a uploaded JPEG file of resolution 292x219:
io.thumbnailsmall gives back 100x75;
io.thumbnailmedium gives 500x375;
io.thumbnaillarge gives 292x219.

For a file with smaller original resolution, I suppose retaining its original resolution as what thumbnaillarge API has done is correct. If so, does this mean that thumbnailmedium API have a bug? (Could be the other way around if the APIs decide to enlarge, but that doesn't sound like what 'thumbnail'-ing should do and pictures will be ugly then.) If so, what a pity... 'cause it looks like one still has to rely on io.download to inspect and process all pictures correctly....

Over the past few days, my uploads have repeatedly "timed out" making me start my uploads over and over again. Not only that, but uploads are extremely slow, usually not even going above 10 KB/s. I don't understand why I'm having such difficulties, because my files are never above 10 MB in size. Any help/solutions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I would like, if possible, to run a bot under Tomcat.

This may sound like a weird request, but there is method to my madness. In addition to direct servicing of IMs, we want our application to be able to be signaled from without to forward a signal to an AIM user that he should call the bot. The main point is to have the bot be able to initiate a conversation with the user.

Rather than build some elaborate socketing mechanism in our bot (which up to now has been a standalone java application) we thought we could simply have another servlet running under Tomcat accept an http request, and then do whatever it might need to do to get word to the AIM user - still TBD

A couple days ago I started a topic called "Sending formatted text from a bot". I now see that title but the forum main page tells me that the topic has been moved. This is a link but if I click on the link, the forum it takes me to does not contain this topic. What's up with that?

I see that a lot of forums have been moved. Is something broken?

All I wanted to do, by the way, was thank the replier for his reply, because it got me off the dime.

I have worked on open auth for a while and was able to write a code that will authenticate my users via OpenAuth.

My question now is how can I use the token returned by OpenAuth to load a buddy list of my users?
Can you just give me some hints on how this possible? Bare in mind that I already have the token and don't need to ask the users to enter their login/password again.

In brief all I need is a way to use the OpenAuth token in order to get the user's buddyList. That's all!

Is there any sample code? I have looked everywhere and can't find any.

Thanks

How can I call member.login from the JSON API Demo page? How can I call the method over HTTPS? I always get: "Calls to member.login must be secure. Please use HTTPS requests".

Time to take the MapQuest API 5.3 beta a step further and see how hard it is to embed MapQuest mapping a windows application. As a developer I'm constantly thinking "is this a one time effort? or do I want to reuse this code?". Well for embedding MapQuest into my .NET application I would like to create a reusable component, in fact, I'd like to create a WinForm usercontrol which can be reused in any application simply by dragging and dropping the control onto a form.
