The haystack debug tool is great for debugging and seeing what the request and responses are. This is crucial information for the developers to know what is happening. Do this if you get a different error than what is provided in the Haystack Troubleshooting test doc and weren't able to resolve your connection issue. Then you can post that in a forum in Project Haystack (without the request if you like) to see if a developer or someone in the community might know of the issue. You can send it to us at support@j2inn.com in case we might be able to help resolve the issue.
