PrimeNet API moved?

James Heinrich · 2011-07-18, 17:59

According to the v5.0 PrimeNet Web API 0.97(c) specifications, the web API should be found at http://v5.mersenne.org/v5/
But, alas, it is not found there... where did it go?

100 views, but nobody knows the answer?

I followed the link on the side menu of mersenne.org. No problems accessing http://v5.mersenne.org/v5design/v5webAPI_0.97.html

Oh, there's no problem accessing the API specifications, but trying to access the API itself, doesn't work for me. There's a number of example queries in that document (which I believe are intentionally broken with spaces to prevent unwanted spidering, so I won't quote them here), but if I go to any of them, or even the base http://v5.mersenne.org/v5/ I get 404 (not found).

If you run prime95, poke around in the Primenet dialog box. There is a setting to print out debug information. I believe this is the same as Debug=2 in the [Primenet] section of prime.txt. Anyway, this outputs the full http URLs that prime95 uses to communicate with the server.

Thanks. That shows me the correct location. Unfortunately I can't seem to get a useful response out of it, even using the example in section "5.9 ps - Ping Server" of the API docs. I get a blank response with a 405 (method not allowed). Am I doing something wrong (I assume yes)? Is this the place to discuss it?

The server may have been down for a moment when you tried to contact it.
