Heroku and Yahoo! Apps

I have created an App on Heroku which works perfectly in a Web Browser. As a second step, I want to view the App hosted on Heroku in Yahoo! App.

Its pretty simple to开发者_运维知识库 open any webpage in a Yahoo! App. One just need to mention the URL where the site is LIVE and rest is taken care by Yahoo! App. However, if I try to open the App hosted Heroku in Yahoo! App, it fails with 404.

As a reference, one can try creating an app on Heroku which just takes a few minutes and try for yourself. You can also use Sinatra MVC if you want to use pre-built app on Heroku and see if this gets displayed. I have already posted the problem on Yahoo! Forum here.

In my personal opinion, the issue might be because of some internal redirection which Heroku is doing but I am not sure about it.

Please have a look and share your thoughts if possible.

Thanks in advance,

Muhammad Haseeb Khan

Well it's not because of internal redirection. It might be a DNS issue (In which case it may work if you try again).

If you could post the heroku url of your app (or another sample application that is experiencing the same issue) then I could probably tell you more.
