DownloadError: ApplicationError: 5 Using GData Provisioning API

[David Cifuentes]

Hello,

I'm getting this error when I'm using the GData Provisioning API to
create user accounts from GAE. The weird thing is that it works well
on the development environment and even in the production server the
accounts are actually being created in Apps. I've read about this
error in other threads but there is no final solution. Can I just
catch and ignore this error?? is there a way to check if the account
was created or not depending on the availability of the provisioning
API??

David,

I'm receiving the same error and similar results albeit with a
different API. This happens when I try to create a new empty (not
uploaded) spreadsheet. The spreadsheet shows up, but I still get
ApplicationError:5. Until I can find the solution, I've chosen to just
catch the exception and work around it. On my dev engine I receive a
slightly different exception, ApplicationError:2 timeout. This happens
on the request to google. Again, in dev even though I get the error
the spreadsheet is created. The details of the request are listed
below. The request looks to be in line with the API sample code at
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Docs-Data-APIs/browse_frm/thread/26d983bfda97d1fe
and http://code.google.com/apis/documents/docs/2.0/developers_guide_protocol.html#UploadingMetadata.

I'll keep looking and will let you know if I find anything out.

Scott

Thanks for your response Scott,

I guess it happens the same with all GData API's. It's kind of ironic,
given that they are running in the same Google data centers. I'll be
watching any progress on this.
