Hello,
I am trying to create an open table definition for StackOverflow and friends. I get the following error:
Unable to parse data using default charset utf-8The full response and reproduction is at :
CODE
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<query xmlns:yahoo="http://www.yahooapis.com/v1/base.rng"
yahoo:count="0" yahoo:created="2010-08-13T02:15:07Z" yahoo:lang="en-US">
<diagnostics>
<publiclyCallable>true</publiclyCallable>
<url execution-time="1387" proxy="DEFAULT"><![CDATA[http://www.outerthoughts.com/files/opentables/se-stats.xml]]></url>
<url error="Unable to parse data using default charset utf-8"
execution-time="201" proxy="DEFAULT"><![CDATA[http://api.stackoverflow.com/1.0/stats?type=jsontext]]></url>
<user-time>1609</user-time>
<service-time>1588</service-time>
<build-version>8771</build-version>
</diagnostics>
<results/>
</query>
It seem to be
consistently reproducible.
I have a full thread about this at
StackApps (API part of Stack Overflow)One of the suggestions is that (maybe?) API forces gzipped content back even if YQL does not support it (?). I tried checking it with ?debug=true flag, but it does not generate any additional info.
Could someone more familiar with YQL confirm or deny this path of investigation?
Thank you,
Alex.
