Anyone else seeing this or is it just me?

There's no further information in the log, no stack trace or anything. Using HRD and python 2.5.

The request seems to execute, ie it takes around the expected amount of time to run, but then fails at the end with this useless error 204 message.  Retrying the request works.


Thanks.

thats a good thing. I am back to nil cost for my website because of that. ;)

its caching. google uses edge caching for static content and if you have cache header defined. 

for all such request your log will show 204.

I've gotten it resolved but it isn't caching actually. An http 204 result is caching, and "error code 204" in your logs with an http 500 error means your instance has crashed. Pretty silly to have the error codes overlap like that!

Thanks
