Sorry for posting this URL first, but this is now my development version and can easily crash/be broken for some time.

http://tah.openstreetmap.org/tahngo/ is the new testing of the new "production" server (although i want to move it to http://tah.openstreetmap.org/ pretty soon).

If you try the web interface at http://tah.openstreetmap.org/tahngo/Request/upload ? Can you let me know which email that would be? (private mail or so). I would like to hunt that down.

I updated the diff, and the new URLs don't contain /tahngo/ which is wrong (the URLS there should be the final URLS when it moves to production. Sorry for that.

I find that somewhat unfair. It is not the main server yet, so don't blame me for not having ironed out all the kinks yet. Despite lots of good suggestions (which I tried to incorporate as many as possible), I have personnaly dedicated a hell of a lot of my unpaid spare time into this project and coded something. Where have you been when I asked for patches to improve the thing? I accept constructive criticism and suggestions and patches but statements like the above, I don't need.

I feel your pain but I am not responsible for the client and I hardly know how it works, so go to deelkar to discuss better error handling with him, or even better submit a patch to do that.
