[Developers] sandbox.freebase.com/api/account/login error message

[Tim Kientzle]

Apologies.

Our sandbox cluster had a MySQL misconfiguration which resulted in a  
complete failure of sandbox authentication a little earlier today  
(around 9:45am Pacific Time, 16:45 UTC).  There may have been erratic  
authentication issues leading up to this.

This has been corrected and sandbox authentication is now working  
normally.  This issue did not affect our production systems at www.freebase.com 
  at all.

Please let us know if you see any further problems.

Cheers,

Tim Kientzle

P.S.  You're quite right that this should have been labelled a "Server  
Failure" and not a "Bad Request."  I'll file a bug to correct this  
error message.
