Re: [fireeagle] Testing for banned users

Hi Erin.

Coding around it is actually the correct solution; there's no telling
when a user's account will become suspended or hidden, so your app
needs to be able to deal with it when it happens. You will get an
error code in the response (along with an HTTP 401, I think), so you
can use that as the trigger. If you want to find out whether a user's
account is still active, ask for their current location. If you get
it, it's active.
