Anyone know a back-end engineer at Livejournal?

My link poster stopped working with LJ yesterday*.

Oddly, it works when I run exactly the same code on my machine at home.

Which makes me think that it's a block on their end, possibly against the Google App Engine range of IPs.

But the support person who looked into it is denying that it's being hit by a block.

So, with the code not having changed in about three years, and it working fine from my machine is there _anything_ else it could be that I could suggest to their team?



The error is happening when the XML-RPC library I use calls the LJ back-end. Sadly, the only error message I get is:
Uncaught Exception: org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcHttpTransportException: HTTP server returned unexpected status: OK

Last time this happened, it was DW-only (same error message) and it was fixed by [staff profile] mark updating some Apache modules.


*Still works with Dreamwidth, and DW can still post to LJ, which is why my link posts are working fine. But it's blocking, for instance [livejournal.com profile] nwhyte from getting his links posted.
