Excellent. I just wasn't clear on how to read your previous post.

I was not exactly clear in my statements.

Starting from this morning, I was getting the following error when MISFIT tried to submit results to GPU72. (it was repeated each hour)

Error during ProcessAutoFetch:Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: startIndex

From looking at the logs, I found this warning page (a snippet of the HTML) as GPU72FETCH_[bunch of characters].HTML, logged each hour:

<h1>Work assigned past expiry date!</h1>
<p>
Sorry Mini-Geek, but you already have too many assignments, <i>or</i> one or more assignments are past the due date. Please see your <a href="/account/assignments/bydate/">Assignments Report</a> for details.
<p>
Since you joined the project you have done on average 177.67 GHz Days of Trial Factoring work per day.
<p>
You currently have 47 assignments totalling 616.26 GHz Days of work assigned, or 3 days worth based on your history. The oldest is 31 days old.
<p>
In order to have access to additional assignments, please complete some more of the work already assigned <font color="red"><i>(particularily the oldest)</i></font>, or <a href="/contact/">Contact Us</a> and explain why you should be exempted from this automated policy.

I've since noticed the warning, extended the assignment, and regenerated my worktodo to ensure that this old assignment will be completed soon, so MISFIT should start working properly again.

I'm pretty sure that while it was doing this, it was not fetching new work for me (the "47 assignments" figure stayed the same, and MISFIT apparently kept trying to fetch work). I see that this was really mainly GPU72's doing, but MISFIT could've given me a relevant error message.

I can provide the full HTML pages, or other info/logs, if needed.

In short: can haz better error message plz?

Thanks!

p.s. on investigating why this assignment went so long without completing/reporting, I found that mfaktc processed it, but the last bit level of it wasn't reported, so GPU72 never noted it complete. I'm not sure what caused that, but in any case, that wasn't apparently MISFIT or GPU72's fault (I was using submit_spider.pl at the time, so the fault was probably there or in PrimeNet).

Actually, technically, this was when your MISFIT instance was fetching work from GPU72 -- results aren't submitted to GPU72 (except through the proxy).

However, thank you! Your bug report has reviled a problem when robots talk to robots. My fault, really.

I have removed the assignment limitation when MISFIT is in the loop.

I now need to figure out how to tell people that they have outstanding (read: old) assignments. Scott -- in-channel return codes? Or out-of-channel communications (probably via e-mail)?

if GPU72 pages could have a clearly defined "error" string I could detect it and pass the error back up through the UI.

something like:

PAGE_PROCESS_ERROR:User has too many assignments
PAGE_PROCESS_ERROR:User not logged in
PAGE_PROCESS_ERROR:Request had invalid parameter, cannot service

Let me know.

VERSION 2.5.3
1. Improved detection and error dialog if GPU72 returns HTML without usable factor rows in it.

Just curious, will MISFIT work with dropbox?

No, actually I haven't tried it yet, just was curious if you knew it worked or no.
