Server is always offline when moving non-existent file

Could you use http://www.telerik.com/download/fiddler to capture a trace of what the client did? I would expect you to get a 404 right away if the file was not around, this is tingling my code smell sense...

Client request:

MOVE https://apis.live.net/v5.0/file.xxx.xxx!xxx?suppress_response_codes=true&suppress_redirects=true HTTP/1.1
Accept: /
Authorization: bearer xxxxx
X-HTTP-Live-Library: Windows/.Net4_1.0Client
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
Host: apis.live.net
Content-Length: 68
Expect: 100-continue

{ "destination" : "folder.xxx.xxx!xxx" }

Server response:

HTTP/1.1 504 Fiddler - Receive Failure
Date: Thu, 09 Apr 2015 22:34:51 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Connection: close
Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate
Timestamp: 00:34:51.439

[Fiddler] ReadResponse() failed: The server did not return a complete response for this request. Server returned 0 bytes.

To get that Fiddler response, I had to wait for 30-60 seconds, at which point I got that LiveConnectException saying that server is offline. No 404 anywhere...

Btw the same problem appears to be with "Copy" too, as long as both the file and target folder do not exist. If any one of them exists, both "Copy" and "Move" return error response correctly. But I guess that's just because "Copy" and "Move" share the same request handling code at the server.

I'm activity investigating this issue

[peternied]

I found the underlying issue, requests will stall on a Move or Copy where the destination folder does not exist. I'll circle back when the issue has been fixed.

@paya-cz Could you check and see if this problem persists?

[paya-cz]

@peternied The problem still persists and the server response did not change - I still get the same fiddler output, and it takes about 30 seconds for the Move/Copy request to timeout.

[peternied]

I've got a fix that should prevent requests from stalling out, I'll let you know when it is available to try out

[peternied]

This fix is avaliable, please reopen if you continue to experience problems
