MtGox ticker issues

[F4C3]

Does anyone else have trouble pulling a jQuery.get() from the mtgox /code/data/ticker.php?  For the life of me I couldn't figure out why my jsonp request failed repeatedly.  I put together a relay script to return it correctly, at least for my scripts.  Feel free to use it.

http://btc.jalder.com/mtgox.php

example usage:

Code:

$(document).ready(function() {	
	$('#update').click(function(){
	     $.get('http://btc.jalder.com/mtgox.php',null,function(data){
			$.each(data, function() {
				$.each(this, function(k,v) {
                                       //Do something interesting with the data
				});
			});
		},'jsonp');
              return false;
	 });
});

Yesterday i found that there was a redirect to HTTPS if you were accessing via HTTP. This redirect however was broken (missing trailing slash). I changed my scripts to use HTTPS and everything works as expected. Hope that helps?

Same here. I guess its using the HTTP connection as there is no confidential data transmitted.

I think one of the biggest issues with the way mtgox put together their feed is that their server requires you to post for a jsonp if you are doing cross-domain scripting, which is correctly.  However, when they return the content type, it comes back as text/html.  This causes the $.get() in jQuery to break as it was expecting the headers to read application/json, I'd love if magical tux would correct the headers sent back.

This fixed things for me too.  I also had to disable SSL certificate validation.

I'm having issues with a php/curl script I've been using to grab the mtgox ticker.  It was working fine and now it fails, I believe it is a problem with the ssl certificate.

whats up with that?  is there a cert problem for anyone else that popped up as of Saturday?

ugh...

now the ticker seems to be 'stuck' on $17.51  for "last"  on https://mtgox.com/code/data/ticker.php

even though bitcoins are trading in the $12.xx on mtgox.   wtf
