Topic: MtGox ticker issues (Read 2604 times)
I'm having issues with a php/curl script I've been using to grab the mtgox ticker. It was working fine and now it fails, I believe it is a problem with the ssl certificate.
whats up with that? is there a cert problem for anyone else that popped up as of Saturday?

It times out for my android app all the time 
Android app was updated on the market yesterday.
Yesterday i found that there was a redirect to HTTPS if you were accessing via HTTP. This redirect however was broken (missing trailing slash). I changed my scripts to use HTTPS and everything works as expected. Hope that helps?
This fixed things for me too. I also had to disable SSL certificate validation.
I think one of the biggest issues with the way mtgox put together their feed is that their server requires you to post for a jsonp if you are doing cross-domain scripting, which is correctly. However, when they return the content type, it comes back as text/html. This causes the $.get() in jQuery to break as it was expecting the headers to read application/json, I'd love if magical tux would correct the headers sent back.

Same here. I guess its using the HTTP connection as there is no confidential data transmitted.

Does anyone else have trouble pulling a jQuery.get() from the mtgox /code/data/ticker.php? For the life of me I couldn't figure out why my jsonp request failed repeatedly. I put together a relay script to return it correctly, at least for my scripts. Feel free to use it.
