Packet filtering problem or invalid server response.

[David]

It seems the crunchbase API servers are having trouble. Over the last couple days I've occasional noticed problems with companies that include a lot of data such as apple.

After testing, it seems the servers are not sending all of the response - and then closing the connection inappropriately. Since making the request directly in the browser seems to work more often, I'm assuming that either tools like cURL or wget are having trouble negotiating the headers, or your servers are expecting a USER AGENT string which matches a normal browser.

david@server:~$ wget -v http://api.crunchbase.com/v/1/company/apple.js

Please try the following: wget -O apple.js.gz --header "Accept-Encoding: gzip,defalte" http://api.crunchbase.com/v/1/company/apple.js

I have the same problem with my web application. How can I do in this
case, please ?

Thanks Anthony, setting that header worked perfectly. Should be noted in the documentation perhaps.

Hi Vincent,

Could you elaborate on the issue you are having with your web app? Or include a snippet of code along with the server response error if any. Here's some sample code using jQuery: https://gist.github.com/2921495
