[Developers] unexpected output from /api/service/mqlread

hi-

i'm doing a query for all business_locations, and using cursoring:

{opening_date=[], parent_company=[{optional=true, guid=null}], type=/ 
business/business_location, guid=null, name=null}

however, after some point, i'm getting this from the HTTP response body:

the output contains HTML and also unrelated query response.

my parser fails at the first character "<" since its not valid JSON.

any ideas on what could be going on here?

thanks,
augusto.
