I am noticing a lot of 599 errors lately when I try to upload songs for analysis. This usually means server side issues, but since no one else is reporting this, I am thinking problem may be on my side...
Example:
The mp3 file I am trying to analyze (this is an expiring link which expires in 1 hr; at the time of this post, I could access this link in my browser and listen to the mp3 file):
https://d15of1z5aftiwr.cloudfront.net/tagged/126367/tagged.mp3?1411523425&Expires=1419801783&Signature=cCUvhzrf1HKKhm5U309aYwlAXyK5cJ-3PMPAhtdhuGEnE0tIn9ah4~KBdx-B6hPnPhkUIMb2KqxUF5vipGHNwhLHSPWS9JLqdlKmcRdqIaXuXB2pBSDM0ncH1fIRAoD9ZqyQ5U9IwwpI5dawRkBJB8nx7pnQ-va5dKhNjcwGojI_&Key-Pair-Id=APKAINAHP36CX6KOMVUA
The curl request:
