Error returned on P95 submission

I just had P95 contact the server. There was a completed exponent. The following error occurred:

[/CODE] It does not seem that the DC was reported/accepted.

Just 1 CPU so far...

I have no idea what was going on. I submitted the results manually, with no problem. The next time P95 checked in, it submitted again, and they came back "Unneeded, another computer...etc" as expected. P95 successfully got a new assignment, then.

That's weird.

I looked in the server logs for any 403's thrown by the API site on that day and the only stuff I saw were the usual suspects (hackerz botz looking for weird urls and getting tossed). I didn't see any hits for that exponent on the 29th (but I did on the 30th when your client tried again).

You access the server a lot in a day. :smile:

There's something on the main website that blocks connections temporarily if they're hitting it too hard, but that's not the case on the API site. And even then, you'd get a 501 or 502 error, not a 403. Only time you'd get 403 is if you try to access a URL that isn't there or try to see a file list.

My best guess is the client was unable to reach the site for some reason? You're not using a proxy or anything, are you? Could the message have come from that?

No proxie.
I guess I access fairly often for things like updating assignments. That, and I just tinker with things.
