Why my /mentioned page return 404?

Question

http://api.stackoverflow.com/0.8/users/213464/mentioned?type=jsontext

{
  "error": {
    "code": 404,
    "message": "The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI."
  }
}

Its returning 404 now. I think it should return blank array even if there is no items, and IIRC, it was properly returned blank array few days ago.

or

Am I missing something?

Answer 1

The way it should be...

UsersResult actual = target.GetResult(site);


while (actual.Users.Length > 0 )
{

    target.Parameters.page++;
    actual = target.GetResult();
}

The way it is (as of 10 minutes ago)

try
{

    UsersResult actual = target.GetResult(site);


    while (actual.Users.Length > 0)
    {
        target.Parameters.page++;
        actual = target.GetResult();
    }
}
catch (WebRequestException wre)
{

    if(wre.StatusCode==HttpStatusCode.NotFound)
    {
        // what? did I run out of pages or did I send a bad url?
        // not optimal dev UX and breaks the prototypical paging pattern
    }
    else
    {
        throw;
    }
}

And before anyone suggest that I should just track the count, consider that an item could be removed from the collection while I am paging....

Answer 2

Probably fixed, now I got following

{
  "total": 0,
  "page": 1,
  "pagesize": 30,
  "comments": []
}
