Connectivity Issues to user-ctp

Question

I'm having sporadic connectivity issues to user-ctp. I authenticate just fine, but then when I get to step 2 of my deploy process, it fails to connect to the user-ctp site. I am currently having this problem on roughly 75% of my attempts to debug.

Kevin - are you still seeing issues? I was able to connect and get calls serviced from https://user-ctp.windows.net end point using LivefxResourceBrowser tool. can you confirm if you are still facing issues via Resource browser tool or VS?

BTW any specific error you are getting like connection time out etc?

Seems to have cleared up... The error I was getting I got very quickly... The connection phase of the deployment would fail within 1-2 seconds and say that it failed to connect and that I should check my network connection. I had a live network connection at the time and refreshed a few pages to make sure it hadn't flaked out on me.

Kevin,

If you see this again (VS Tools having trouble connecting to user-ctp.windows.net but developer.mesh-ctp.com works fine) try two things:

1. Check user-ctp responsiveness in the LiveResourcesBrowser (it's in \Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Live Frameworks\Tools).  LRB more closely matches VS Tools' access patterns using user-ctp.windows.net than developer.mesh-ctp.com.
2. Shut down and restart your VS session (not your machine, just your VS).  If the connectivity problem goes away just by doing this, send me a note as this suggests that we're leaving an HTTP connection open somewhere in the upload workflow.  I found one already in code review.

Thanks,

-Danny

Is user-ctp.windows.net still supported?

Pretty sure the whole thing is shut down. My regular copy of the "production" Live Mesh client stopped being able to communicate with the mesh a couple days ago and all the announcements indicated that Live Mesh is no more.. which is a shame considering the ridiculous amount of code I wrote for it ;)

Answer 7

is there any way i can get personal message (share a quick message in msn messenger) for a user using c# code (like making soap request for delegated token and then using that to get user's personal message).
