error
Status: Not a bug
Type: Bug

New Comment:
That is quite possibly an Access-Control-Allow-Origin problem due to the client getting back a
default 'http://' response header. Using one of the mirrors
like us.php.net or ca.php.net typically doesn't result in this problem, but I've tried
explicitly setting the headers. We'll see if that helps. http://php.net is an odd case because it accepts both php.net and
www.php.net hosts in the request header.

php.net exhibits broken behaviour as well.
An empty http response is generated, and the voting button turns to a red "X" with the
tooltip text, "Error :("

Some of the mirrors don't allow external requests. There's nothing I can do about that
part, but as for the tally not being reflected immediately after you cast the vote, this is expected
behavior.
Once you cast the vote the request is made through javascript to our main php server and the
database is updated then the new tally is returned through the API. That new tally is then provided
immediately through javascript. However, if you were to refresh the page you will still see the old
tallies because each php.net mirror keeps a local copy of the notes, which get updated periodically
(usually once every hour or so).
So changes to the ratings may not be reflected in real time across all mirrors.

Using www.php.net
Same response:
{"success":false,"msg":"Unable to complete your request at this time.
Please try again later..."}
If I continue to refresh without cache, I can occasionally get a success:
{"success":true,"update":-5}
However, it appears to not take effect as the vote tallies never change on subsequent refreshes.

Do you still have this problem? Are you using www.php.net or php.net? Need feedback.
