500 on YouTube on non-existing videos
Now, this is embarassing… It looks like requesting a non-existent video on YouTube causes a "500 Internal Server Error"!
Figure 1: 500 on YouTube
For example:
- Valid url: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5CeNunbHto
- Invalid url: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtf
Surely, a better response would be something like the one returned when the videoId is missing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=. It seems like predictions became true.
