SS 5.1 Custom API issue
Posted: Sat Oct 19, 2002 2:26 pm
Hi two questions:
1) I just recently wrote a CustomAPI script that alerts my client of a new
order (with Buyers Name, #, Total, Shipping, etc) via his SprintPCS phone.
It works really well, except for today: Today I did one final test but this
time I changed the email to a bogus (no DNS) account. After the Thankyou.cgi
my client called me and said he was getting over 150 if the same message! I
know I didnt write any endless loop conditions in my code, so my question
is: If the other shopsite (5.1) code is trying to send a repeated message
(to a bogus address) does my Custom API get called repeatedly as well??? I
hope it's just a problem with Sprint really, otherwise I have to add to my
code..
2) Can someone reccomend me to a site/forum/newgroup that strictly discusses
CustomAPI programming. I've searched the net only to find the high-end
retail (BlueHornet) backends and would love to trade ideas with some
down-home open source developers like myself : ) thanks!
PS I know Verio really needs to upgrade to 6.1 and I'm seriously considering
changing hosts.
