Gateway timeout when posting reply but...

  • I posted a reply to a topic today and, after a minute or so, received a 504: Gateway Timeout error. Seeing that error, I thought my post had failed and was going to redo it but luckily, I checked first and to my surprise my reply was posted successfully.

    So, this was an "error: process succeeded" situation, I guess. Normally, I would assume a 5xx error means something went horribly wrong and whatever I was trying to do had failed. It looks like in this case though things went horribly right, and it was quite unexpected.

    Seems like this is a violation of the principal of least astonishment. 🙂

    Thanks.

     

     

  • Yeah, my apologies. There is some holdup in the return from the db to the app that gets lost and eventually returns a 504, even though the thing was written to the table.

    It's very annoying to me as well, but glad you're astonished.
