<p>Today it's been failing from about 5pm and it's still throwing these curl errors at 11:30pm (PST)</p>
<p>There have been a couple of other spots, and the last big outage was 3rd Jan from 11am to about 2pm.</p>
<p>Is it something at my end? Anyone else seeing these? It's preventing members from signing in to various bits of the site, and generating large numbers of complaints.</p>

<p>It's been good for a while, but I got another "cURL error: Operation timed out after 10000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received" at 2011-07-03T12:13:05-07:00 </p>
<p>Just a heads up in case you're tracking this. It was when pulling profile info.</p>

<p>I'm guessing there isn't a more efficient way to pull profile data? I'm already caching it for a short while...</p>

<p>The User endpoint can be slow and is most likely the cause of the timeouts. I don't think it's an issue with the connection itself, I think the server is taking too long to respond.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The User endpoint is slower than the rest because it needs to access several different systems to build the complete profile. I'll talk with the engineering team to see what could be done to speed it up.</p>

<p>Thanks Devin. Typically, I haven't had any since I mentioned it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm only making requests to the sign in and profile information at the moment, and it seems to be when pulling the profile info. I've had three types of error message - "cURL error: name lookup timed out", "cURL error: SSL connection timeout", "cURL error: Operation timed out after 10000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received"</p>
