Hi all,

We're aware that both the character and corporation /ContractItems.xml.aspx endpoints are failing at the moment. This is because the width of Record ID's was increased to int64 and is now above the signed int32 threshold, but no corresponding change was made in the API. My bad, I'll be fixing that shortly.

The documentation specifies that this field is int64 (long), but under the hood it's secretly been signed int32 this whole time. This is prior warning that we will imminently start returning int64's for real in that field.

Carry on!

Ah that'll be why I'm getting loads of error messages! Big smile

Any ETA on a fix?

Probs Monday or Tuesday, I want to see if I can sneak in some tweaks to the threading model to smooth out these timeouts we've been seeing as well.

Thank you very much!

It's good to have the chance to enhance my error handling etc. However, I did go back through my error logs and noticed that your problems might be worse that you expect:

General Error: Scotty the docking manager heard you were talking **** about him behind his back and refuses to service your request.

It is true. I have been talking **** about him behind his back. In fact I've called him all sorts of nasty names, and everything. But, he has to face up to the fact that his current system of handling requests is a bit rubbish - it's all disconnected and confusing. It just lacks the swagger it needs. Big smile

Thanks again
