You should really buy my AJAX book.
You'll learn not only the technology you need for implementation but also an understanding that will help you get the most from AJAX.
You'll also have my eternal thanks :-)

Hey,
Just wanted to say this is a great project. I could not seem to locate a contact page, so I am just posting in here. Your service will work awesome and I will be purchasing credits later as I plan to put this into use.
I have a few comments/questions for you though.
The project I am currently working on I need to generate thumbnails of webpages, however the HTML is an absolute no no for anyone to get their hands on. With that being said, I need a way to block anyone from accessing the page except your server. Is their a way to do this? (I assume IP address, correct?) As well, we should be able to send a paremter to the request to make the thumbnail “private”, where it will not showup in your list of “recently created thumbnails”.
I am very curious as to how this will work when it starts to come under a huge load. I cannot have the images generated within a time limit of 20-30 seconds (max) with the API.
As for a slight bug I found, try typing any strange symbol into into the request RUI with symbols ie ?test=324 and more specifically quotes (single and double). It causes it to break. I know their aren’t suppose to be those symbols in their, just something you might want to screen in the url before processing to keep people from doing “dumb things”
Thanks again,
I look forward to hearing your responses.

For private requests you can block by IP. I am looking at adding fully private requests with http auth support.
performance wise there is just a queue so if it gets a huge number of requests things slow down for everyone. I should have a major upgrade done in the next couple months which should give me 5-10 times the current capacity.
Url wise i do screen things, it might just be how im storing the urls or something that is causing the problem, i’ll take a look.
The winner was never announced?
