As a result our requests tot he service using the ruby webthumb API entered endless loops. This is because the fetch_when_complete method continued in an endless loop as long as it was able to get valid responses from the server (presumably the response that says "still working on it"). The bluga site is fixed and should not have such issues but there is always the chance something else will happen to the service. I am going to modify/monkey patch Simplificator::Webthumb::Job.fetch_when_complete to take a timeout parameter so that it doesnt check in an endless loop forever. If you want the modification, can you send me an email with some instructions on where to send the modified code?

I.e.: '/EAD:ead/EAD:eadheader/EAD:filedesc/EAD:titlestmt/EAD:titleproper' Would return nothing while '/EAD:ead/EAD:eadheader' did not return a single result. BTW: path = (hpricot / 'EAD:titleproper').first.xpath nodes = hpricot / path -> nodes is empty Hi Robert

It just did not work, the searches with XPath just did not return any result if the query contained the namespace more than once.

I.e.:
‘/EAD:ead/EAD:eadheader/EAD:filedesc/EAD:titlestmt/EAD:titleproper’
Would return nothing while
‘/EAD:ead/EAD:eadheader’ did not return a single result.

BTW:
path = (hpricot / ‘EAD:titleproper’).first.xpath
nodes = hpricot / path
-> nodes is empty
