Hi Jason,

When you upload an item with an image link, the Google Base servers will attempt to fetch the image. I'm wondering if you are seeing this error because the request timed out when the Google Base server asked for your image. Do you think this could be it?

Thank you,

Jeff

Well, it seems I'm having a problem uploading images to Google Base via the GData API.

When I try to add an Image Link attribute, say 'http:// fs.realfocus.com/getthumbnail.aspx? t=l&w=512&h=400&bs=0&id=864014&ext=.jpg', I get:

<errors> <error type="data" field="image_link" reason="There was a problem finding the specified image." /> </errors>

I've also tried non-resized images as well, including the Google.com logo (http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif), but to no avail. Any ideas?

Regards,
