They are all GET/POST calls over HTTP. So if you already have DDOS protection that will stop someone from repeatedly GET-ing core pages on your website, wouldn't that same protection prevent them from making repeated hits against API URLs? Add some kind of vendor-key and that's a 2nd layer of protection.

DDoS protection at a HTTP level is done outside of the application and generally blocks all requests from a given IP. Keys allow us to block an application that is (maliciously or not) sending too many requests without blocking traffic from other users on that IP (big issue for large corporations, universities or certain countries.

Well, if app-author specific keys will help you safeguard against attacks, that sounds like the best plan. Initially you could expose it to just a few trusted folks, and later expand it to include more app-vendors and authors. Looking forward to more info/updates on this

IMHO, you have no chance to stand a DoS attack without a kind of API key - best to give per application registration...Who wish not register isn't serious...

My latest blog at http://jakemdrew.wordpress.com/ has not been consumed. The blog page says it has been polled, but the new article has not shown up on code project. The blog has been assigned with the CodeProject category, and I have not had had this problem with other articles in the past.
Thanks,

Hmmm. Have you tried changing your feed to include the full entry? I can't think of why it wouldn't be a problem before and is now, though. Let's just see what happens.

I apologize. I am not sure what you mean? Is this something I do on wordpress or codeproject?

From your Wordpress.com menu, under Settings ->, then -> Reading, you will see "For each article in a feed, show" then make sure "Full text" is selected.

I did as you suggested yesterday and updated my wordpress reading settings to "full text". My blog has still not been consumed.
Thanks for all of your help on this!

Hmmm. Could you please try adding a rel tag to the article as shown here?

If you mean email notifications of answers to QA solutions - I've just noticed that myself: didn't get a notification from a reply to a solution in QA[^] written yesterday...
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

Exactly. That bug happened a few week ago, but solved. Chris told that it was a cache issue. Now it is back and makes QA work a nightmare... More nightmare than usual I mean...

His account was reported being abuse [Large list of self accepted answers]. I think on request, Admins have reinstated it. Now, he is with us with same list of answers. Does this mean all his content is acceptable?

No it does not.
I've (quickly) gone through a number of his answers and can't see self-answered ones. Can you fire us a quick list of the offending ones?

OK, he's gone.
I have no problem with someone posting a question, working on it, finding the answer, and then posting a "hey - I worked it out - here it is". However, this is a repeated, continuing pattern so no, not cool.
