503 Server Unavailable when uploading image

Hi

I'm new to SmugMug and have signed up for the 14 day trial before deciding if it's a good place to host photo galleries for a sailing related website that I look after.

I'm trying to use the SmugMug API from C# .NET, and I'm having trouble uploading images to an album.

I tried using my own code and, when that didn't work, I used some .NET code listed on the "Hacks and Apps" page and that gave the same result.

The upload appears to work, i.e. it's takes about the right length of time to upload the bytes, but the return code from http://upload.smugmug.com is "503 Server Unavailable".

Is this because I've not paid for a full accout yet, or is there perhaps another reason why this is not working?

Thanks in advance.

    Some additional information.

    I ran the code at home and it worked perfectly (although slowly because of my useless Internet connection!). However, when I try the exact same code at work I get this "503 server unavailable" return code.

    Presumably, this is due to the company's network security settings. However, I thought the API was based purely on HTTP, which I don't believe is blocked (except for specific sites).

    Any ideas???
