Webservice time out ?

Lideln — GMT

Hi, For a few days now, I have been experiencing time out using the webservice : Services_GeoNames_HTTPException: Unable to connect to tcp://ws.geonames.org:80. Error: Connection timed out in /usr/local/lib/php/Services/GeoNames.php on line 271 Does anyone have an idea about that?

This domain is slow since last Sunday because of too many requests. This domain is obsolete and was replaced 2 years ago with the domain api.geonames.org. The api subdomain requires an application identifier to protect the server from heavy usage by single applications. You should use the api.geonames.org domain: http://geonames.wordpress.com/2011/01/28/application-identification-for-free-geonames-web-services/

Thank you! I guess I was using an older version of the PHP GeoNames library. I am now using: Code:

$oGeo = new Services_GeoNames('my_user_name');
$oGeo->url = 'http://api.geonames.org';
