TagQuery is sporadic

I know the TagQuery method is experimental, so this is just provided as helpful feedback. When I send a request, sometimes it works perfectly. However, if I send the same request again, I'll get a 0-byte chunked HTTP response. Sometimes the 1st request fails like this, sometimes other. If I keep sending requests, some work and some don't...

OutboundQuery not working?

When doing an OutboundQuery, I never get any items back. For example, when doing an OutboundQuery on geekswithblogs.net, I get this: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- generator="Technorati API version 1.0 /outbound" -->
<!DOCTYPE tapi PUBLIC "-//Technorati, Inc.//DTD TAPI 0.02//EN" "http://api.technorati.com/dtd/tapi-002.xml">
<tapi version="1.0">
<document>
<result>
  <url>http://geekswithblogs.net</url>
  <weblog>
    <name>Geekswithblogs.net</name>
    <url>http://geekswithblogs.net</url>
    <rssurl></rssurl>

    <inboundblogs>626</inboundblogs>
    <inboundlinks>1578</inboundlinks>

  </weblog>
  <inboundblogs>626</inboundblogs>
  <inboundlinks>1578</inboundlinks>

</result>

</tapi>

In addition, if I try to do an OutboundQuery on the URL "http://www.boingboing.net/", my query times out. I extended the socket read timeout to 120 seconds on the HTTP request, but it simply times out.

HTTP-POST request for api-tag gets no result, unlike GET oder POST for api-search

This Tag-API call using a POST request gets the following error: No posts match "" 

POST /tag HTTP/1.1 
Host: api.technorati.com 
User-Agent: phpTechnorati/0.9 
Connection: close 
Accept-Encoding: gzip 
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded 
Content-Length: 44 

tag=dvd&key=xxx

But using a GET request I could see the full results. Did I something wrong? After hours of debugging I couldn't find an error by my side.

The same call but unsing the Search-API works fine with POST and GET: 

POST /search HTTP/1.1 
Host: api.technorati.com 
User-Agent: phpTechnorati/0.9 
Connection: close 
Accept-Encoding: gzip 
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded 
Content-Length: 70 

query=dvd&key=xxx

inconsistent numbers between cosmos and bloginfo

Near-time calls to cosmos and bloginfo seem to return different rank values. -JonasLuster

bloginfoQuery and zero's

when doing a bloginfo query on a blog with no references, inboundblogs is returned as '0,' whereas inboundlinks is returned as an empty string- -RyanKing

Web results don't match api query results

Querying for http://indiauncut.blogspot.com/ (for example) over the api using bloginfo doesn't yield any useful info (missing <weblog> node) whereas a web search (technorati.com/search/indiauncut.blogspot.com) returns the expected information. This happens for several other urls. -DeepakSarda

CosmosQuery has empty <inboundblogs> and <inboundlinks>

This problem is intermittent.

For example, the following request (sent at 8:50am on 2/9/2005)

http://api.technorati.com/cosmos?key=my key was here&limit=2&type=link&url=http%3A//yglesias.typepad.com/matthew/2005/03/flat_tax_simple.html
