Is websocket api down?

Code:

$ telnet websocket.mtgox.com 80
Trying 69.64.54.38...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Yep was down, found the reason, fixed the code and restarted it (division by zero when someone sent badly formatted draft-00 headers).

Hello, thanks for the API. Few questions/comments:

a) What exactly is the ticker? Why server broadcast so many packets without any changed data? I see few updates per second without any change...
b) Can you please post example of subscribe/unsubscribe command? It's not clear for me how to unsubscribe from ticker.
~~c) Can you include (official) server timestamps to the broadcasts? Client timestamps in trading platforms are hell...~~ I'm sorry, I miss 'date' field Roll Eyes

a) The ticker is the current stats about bitcoin. It's sent once each time it have a chance to be changed, which includes when orders are posted, removed or completed.
b) Here's an example:

Code:

{"op":"unsubscribe","channel":"xxx"}

Additionally each user has a "own" channel which streams informations about orders (new order, deleted order, etc) and trades only the user's trades).

Does a user's "own" channel include information about when BTC/USD funds post to his account?

Not at this point.

why are you using UUID's to name the channels rather than just something human readable like: "trades" ?

Because it was easier since I intend to use this system for many other sites, without having to do something to isolate users of a specific system. Also there are user-specific channels and many other stuff which makes use of uuid a bit easier (for me).
