Description

Affects 2.0.0.v20120321134756

Problem

As the title states, I can get Ti.Geolocation.forwardGeocoder() to work under no circumstances on any platforms. All errors indicate "Not Found". This does not mean that the specified location cannot be found, as I've tried many. I believe that it is occurring because the underlying URL seems to be looking for

api.appcelerator.com

when it should be looking for

api.appcelerator.net

Test Case

This will give "not Found" errors on all platforms

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
	backgroundColor: '#fff',
	fullscreen: false,
	exitOnClose: true
});

Ti.Geolocation.forwardGeocoder('Paris, France', function(e) {
	if (Ti.Platform.osname === 'mobileweb') {
		console.log(e);
	} else {
		Ti.API.info(e);
	}
});

win.open();

Proposed Solution

make the service use the domain api.appcelerator.net, not api.appcelerator.com

We need to change api.appcelerator.com to api.appcelerator.net.

I see this was changed to Mobilweb, but just to be clear, it seems to affect all platforms. For some reason \*.appcelerator.com now redirects to \*.appcelerator.org. Is this perhaps the source of this problem, and perhaps others?

We have scanned the code and we use "api.appcelerator.net" in both iOS and Android platforms.

Side Note: Ti.API.log works on mobile web, no need to case it out.
