Is BlobStoreService down?

[Hussein Vastani]

Hi all,

I have a java app engine application thats under development, currently running on v 1.9.17. 

Since this afternoon (Fri Feb 13, 2015), any attempts to download blobs with a blobKey (as described in the docs) is returning with a HTTP 500 error, with the headers saying Google Frontend error. I can see the handler getting called in java to process the download request, but it goes kaput after blobStoreService takes over (serve blobKey method). 

I can upload videos just fine, but downloads using a blobKey, and the blobStoreService.serve() method product HTTP 500 errors. 

The app has been working just fine until today. I've tried switching to a GCS bucket, but to no avail. 

Please advise.

Thanks.

Sorry, my bad. I was setting the handler's http response status to 204, which seemed to be messing up blobstore service. Setting the handler's response status to 200 fixes blobstore downloads.
