Blizzard throttling the armory?

by puck on Jan.20, 2009, under Coding, WoW, c#

I read this post on TardFactor which suggest that it might have occurred but I just don’t see it.  Currently, my raid sorting application runs without a single 503 error.  I just put in a fancy delay thread.sleep(60000);.  I guess if I was slamming the armory with several hundreds of http requests a second then I would expect to get a 503.  Blizzard probably isn’t throttling.  They are probably correctly blocking http spam requests when a threshold has been reached.

write better code, be polite to web servers and you might not get a 503.
