Subject: RE: Someone tapping into my blogOk...we dug deep and found it and fixed it (fingers crossed)...here is some documentation... LET ME KNOW IF SOMETHING IS STILL AMISS "I had to dig deep. I ended up tracing each users paths through the log files down to the millisecond and then trying to puzzle out what happened and where.. But yes I am fairly sure that I found what was happening. Very small window of error there. Also explains why it was happening only with friends and not to just random strangers...Here's what I think was happening:
Friend #1 views Friend #2's blog.
Friend #2 updates their own blog within the 5 minute cache timeout. This window could be less than five minutes since you don't know for certain when the global timeout occurs. Say an average of a 2.5 minute window. This update instead affects friend #1's blog
This probably just surfaced yesterday evening while I was fixing the cache and probably wasn't apparent until this afternoon when everyone was online together. If person #2 was online before person #1 looked at their log (within that window) then nothing would have happened. So I would guess it would be very limited in scope." |
