I've noticed that when trying to get the entire status timeline for
some users (user ID 49777412 was one such user), requesting a page
(say the first page) of 200 tweets results in a 502 error. Retrying
the request a several seconds (5 seconds, in my case) later succeeds.
When requesting the second page of statuses, it again fails, but a few
seconds later it succeeds.

It seems as though there's some caching issue happening in which the
initial request will take too long to return so Twitter returns a 502
error, and by the time the second request happens the data has been
retrieved and is ready to serve the request. How should I go about
avoiding or reducing the occurrence of these errors?

Thanks,
Brendan
