	The methods below both produce HTTP 500 errors when executed from the test forms (and also when executed by client applications). The errors did not occur in v1.04 of the API. Please can you tell me urgently if there is a fix or workaround available for these errors, and a date by which they will be fixed. Regards Paul Taylor

	We are not aware of any issue with the API which was only updated to support case sensitive passwords by removing 'LCase' from the password input. This should not have caused any issues. You have not said what methods that you were having problems with if you can then will be able to investigate further. Also if you can enabled detailed error messages, instead of the generic 500 message, then this will also help solve the issue.

	You can also test many of the methods in the XML API on the demo forum at:- http://demo.webwizforums.com/HttpAPI.asp I have just been through every one and not able to replicate the 500 error message that you mention.

	The methods in question were GetMemberByID and GetMemberByName. I have two separate servers running v1.05 of the API and both of these methods return errors while other methods do not. The forum otherwise appears to be working correctly. Does the API log errors anywhere where I can get more information about what has happened?

	By the way, the admin password in use has only lower-case letters and digits, and the admin username is not the "standard" one, but in any case consists only of lower-case letters.

	You would need to get the detailed ASP error message from the server in order to find out what the issue will be as this gives what the error is and the line number. I have tested both methods on the demo forum API and they are both working without error:- http://demo.webwizforums.com/HttpAPI.asp?action=GetMemberByName&Username=Administrator&Password=letmein&MemberName=Administrator http://demo.webwizforums.com/HttpAPI.asp?action=GetMemberByID&Username=Administrator&Password=letmein&MemberID=1

	And also in case it helps, if I execute the methods with an incorrect password, they return the normal "Admin Login Fail" method, so whatever failure is happening is happening after the authentication check.

	Unfortunately with out a detailed error message with line number can't really help any further as unable to replicate the issue.
