MUID cookie is now required for convsersation/create?

[JakeAve]

Starting this morning, I've ran into an issue where you can't create a chat without the MUID. It throws a 404. I have my own update to fix that, but I wanted to see if other people have been having that issue.

The MUID comes from Microsoft for ad tracking: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/setup-and-installation/cookie-list
The format looks like a 32 digit hex uppercase / GUID, but you aren't able to spoof it - I tried. I wonder if you can use a blank MR or MR=true and it hits the same middleware and generates a new MUID. I don't know enough about the Microsoft cookies.

Once the MUID and _U are added to the cookie, it works like always.

const fetchOptions = { ...otherStuff, cookie: `MUID=<32-digit-hex>; _U=<user-token>; `}

In what region are you @JakeAve ? I'm in Canada and I started getting 503 until I removed the use of the cookie. I'm not sure if this is the same behavior across different locations. Have you tried not using the cookie at all?

I’m in en-US UT/AZ and when I checked a few days ago I didn’t need it anymore. I’m going to check in Texas today or tomorrow and see what it’s like. Weird.

hey, i just met "Error: unexpected HTTP error createConversation 404: Not Found" today, have you ever seen? @JakeAve @RaschidJFR

[JakeAve]

That's exactly what I was seeing. And adding the MUID cookie in addition to the normal cookie fixed it. But just a few days ago, I was able to delete the MUID cookie and it still works. No idea why it's not consistent.

@NgWaiKong I faced that error while I was playing around with some parameters. This happened to me while creating a conversation and setting the param isStartOfSession incorrectly. I don't know if this is related to your issue but feel free to share some code to check it out.

hey coming back to you guys, thanks for the details you mentioned. @RaschidJFR @JakeAve Now, I just changed my backend server to another region, and it worked. I was thinking it should related to the region policy of New Bing.
