Online data request (llRequestAgentData(id, DATA_ONLINE)) suddenly stopped working?

Hello,

This may be a temporary failure but I just wanted to check it out with you first...

Since the day before yesterday, my own "online status requester" has stopped working. To be "nice" I just call the database server once per minute (I don't need more precision than that... when I'm online, I will surely play for more than one minute lol!). As my own programming bugs keep creeping in when I finally think that everything is "finished", I went into the code again and have rewritten part of it carefully. Still did not work. So I asked myself if there was any problem in receiving the database answers from the database() event. After much debugging with llWhisper it looks that I get responses for other queries to the database server - like DATA_BORN or DATA_NAME, for instance - but not for the online request!

This works well putting the object in Morris' sandbox... but does not work any more in Uli where I live. Oops. Did I blow up the message queue for the database server in Uli?? I asked a Linden for assistance but also thought of asking it here...

I saw a lot of oddities today with llRequestAgentData actually. Could be a system-wide problem that's transitory.

Thanks for the info, Adam... I hope it wasn't ME blowing it up with my tests LOL.

I rewrote the scripts again (tweaking with some options, providing a "default" message if the database server doesn't reply, etc.), and the results remain the same: all ok in Morris Sandbox, very slow database requests in Cordova, no DATA_ONLINE replies at all in Uli's sim (but other types work fine). Well, I have notified one of the Lindens. Still early for them to be awake and working on it, though - lol.

Thanks again for the feedback!

One of the Lindens suggested to file a bug report. I did that. We'll see. The object still doesn't work in Uli but does work elsewhere without problems.
