Note: I originally posted this in the wrong forum group, and couldn’t figure out how to “move” it, so I am reporting it here in the add on group.
Not along ago I added DontPush support to my test app. It worked fine. Recently it stopped working. After the yellow spinner spins for a few seconds I always get “Ooops…
Connection to server appears to be broken…”. I have tried recompiling, reinstalling, rebooting, and reverting my code but nothing works. Don’t know what else to try or what could possibly have changed. Any suggestions?
BTW: I see here http://code.google.com/p/dontpush/issues/detail?id=13 that someone else had a similar experience – worked, then stopped working. I’m still waiting for mine to spontaneously start working. Maybe I have to let it rest a month
Today I tried it again (with Firefox), and it again kept failing.
On a whim I tried it with Chrome, and it worked – once. After restarting Chrome, it fails in Cjhrome. Restarting the server (Tomcat and/or Eclipse builtin) it still fails.
Then I tried IE – it works. In IE it works even if I restart the browser or restart either server.
Back to firefox. I restarted Firefox, and it worked. I restarted Firefox, and it didn’t work. I restarted Firefox and it works. I restarted Firefox, and it works.
IE still works. Chrome now never works. Firefox sometimes works.
It seems that the presence of the final “/” in the URL has a significant effect. Leaving it off generally allows the app to start successfully. Since this is awfully subtle, perhaps this explains the seemingly inexplicable behavior I described above: Sometime the “/” was include – failure – and sometimes it was not included – success. Note that back buttons and autocompletion and event the restart/reconnect buttons all handle the final “/” differently.
Perhaps others can confirm and a fix can be released in dontpush.
