Hi Joseph.
Nop. Retry logic isn't the solution here. That's sweeping dirt under the rug kind of solution. This happens with an all bunch of scripts that i was using flawlessly in FS 1.2 Maybe it is time to open a jira for this.
Not knowing anything about your setup, I certainly cant assert but that generalization is fair to apply broadly. Given the case of a service that is long running yet makes api requests to some remote/foreign interface it will likely expire its authentication handle routinely and therefor needs logic to re-establish this when that occurs. Post back your solution when you do find it, I have a project waiting on getting mod_python compiled under windows which I have not been able to do so in the meantime I hoping to acquire as much knowledge on the topic as I can... jlc
