Weird plotly errors

[ErieMeyer]

Every .csv I try throws an error that says the URL is too long. Any guidance on URL length?

Can you give me an example of a url you've tried?

The URL itself is fine. Is it possible that something on consumerfinance.gov doesn't like programmatic access to these files? If I try the exact url you list I get a gateway timeout error, then if I try the url it redirects to (http://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/201304_cfpb_data_comments-docket-nonrulemaking-cfpb-2013-0004.csv) I get a connection refused error.

I'll look into it more, we may just have something set wrong on our side. That file (34MB) is on the large side for Plotly right now, though it does work if I upload it from my computer instead of via http://plot.ly/external?url=....
