Foxmarks: Error: Unknown error 202

From Foxcloud Wiki

I always get this error for the past months accross different version of Firefox and Foxmarks. It occurs when trying to use my FTP account for syncronizing. Foxmarks downloads the sync-file, merges, tries to upload the lot and then fails with "unknown error 202".

Presumably, this is being returned by your server. According to the HTTP spec (I know your server is FTP, but the error code is an HTTP error code), 202 means:

The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request might or might not eventually be acted upon, as it might be disallowed when processing actually takes place. There is no facility for re-sending a status code from an asynchronous operation such as this.

The 202 response is intentionally non-committal. Its purpose is to allow a server to accept a request for some other process (perhaps a batch-oriented process that is only run once per day) without requiring that the user agent's connection to the server persist until the process is completed. The entity returned with this response SHOULD include an indication of the request's current status and either a pointer to a status monitor or some estimate of when the user can expect the request to be fulfilled.

If your server really is returning this, you should make it stop -- it's not an acceptable response to Foxmarks' request to PUT the file. --Todd 00:53, 23 November 2006 (EST)

I've narrowed this error down to my Squid proxy server returning a successful message. I simply add my bookmarks FTP server to bypass the proxy and it's working now. Foxmarks uses the Firefox global setting for its traffic. -- kenny
