Yesterday evening, I noticed issues with the new GoodGuide interface installed on the WiredPages Shopping page. I did not investigate immediately, other than to determine my API-Key was working correctly. I made this check via the browser.

This morning, I was surprised to learn that it appears my web host is blocking a check I require. Removing the check would relax security measures I have in place and put simply-- it is not going to happen.

Other options:

The interface works fine in my local development environment using the local copy of the program-- so I am very sure the traceback provided from the online version is the correct problem.

I know this interface works online-- it has been working fine since December 2nd, 2011 when I first installed it on the Remix blog. I am surprised by what appears to be the source of the problem.

Temporally removed the interface.. hanging. The irony? Web host could have claimed this caused them undue resource stress and terminated my hosting. This looks like another attempt to control my hosting and how I set up my interface.. The application when first requested makes the same security check that is made when a product review is requested. Why would the same code hang the second time? In other words-- if the code did not work-- you would see the "Unauthorized use" message. it would be easy for a systems guy to limit from the server side.. the question is why? FBI- you owe.

If you had lots of traffic and used the same methodology for many of your interfaces-- could this rechecking be inefficient? The system checks I am requesting should not be a problem even if I had a lot of traffic-- which according to both qisoftware.com and hosting-q.com stats-- I do not. That said-- I think I gave my plan of action away. Earlier, I tested an init check [only once] however the same problem is occurring... Yes, I do think I said too much in the first part of this post. Someone is two steps ahead of me.. My software is not free to use. Sorry. Why is this interface important?

The wrong test-- logic failed because I was running from local host which is not allowed from the online version I was checking against.. it maybe Goodguide who is blocking but they are not sending an error. it is timing out.. I am not moving the interface. not taking out the security checks to see if that is the problem.. no errors. i take out the security checks to see where it is? The error is go develop your own and run it from your own server. I said no. ThinK I was right.. they want me to load a version with no checks so they can take that.,.. not going to happen,.

No checks would allow the software to be run from any server that supports JSP. The reason i develop using java and not PHP is so it is not taken from my server and run elsewhere. Why is this hard to accept?
