<div dir="ltr">I've just implemented a change to OSMXAPI which will filter out and reject silly requests (like highway=*).<br><br>The filter uses a combination of bbox size and count of matching elements to determine whether or not to process the request.<br>
<br>At this stage it is a bit experimental and there is scope for fine tuning what it accepts and rejects.<br><br>If you find that it is rejecting a request that you think is reasonable then please let me know. I want to find the point where all reasonable requests are still accepted but silly or badly formed ones are rejected. <br>
<br>This should make a big difference to the throughput as previously osmxapi would easily get bogged down by someone requesting the whole planet and then retrying two or three times when they don't get a response within 10 seconds.<br>
