Mark, it's a pull, but the real status of main server will be replaced by "WON BY MIRROR" only if main status is "BID UNDER ASKING PRICE", mirror status is "HIGH BIDDER", and current price is less than the maximum bid. The pseudo code looks like this:
if (strstr($message, "BID UNDER ASKING PRICE") && ($currentprice <= $maxbid) && ($usemirror == 1))
{
...
if ($mirrormessage == "HIGH BIDDER")
{
$message = "WON BY MIRROR";
}
}

Thank you for clarifying Mario,
This occurance raises, for me, a little (mainly inconsequential) question about the implemantation of Gixens' 'WON BY MIRROR' status:
Is it a pull from the main server (i.e. Main recognises that it has a 'BID UNDER ASKING PRICE' status and polls the Mirror server to find out whether it won it) or is it a push from the Mirror (i.e. the Mirror recognises that it has won the auction and informs the Main server)?
In terms of effectivness of winning auctions it makes no difference which it is, my question arises as it affects how often we should expect the 'WON BY MIRROR' status to overwrite the provisional one given solely by the operation of the Main server.

This usually means that a login screen was returned back even after being logged in already. While anything is possible, I think in this case it's more likely that the mirror server won the item.

That is true, but I think this status is generated when Gixen does not recognise the response it gets from eBay at any stage of the bidding process. say a log in screen when the bid is placed (but not yet confirmed), so it could happen before the bid confirmation submission, I guess if it happens at that stage eBay may still accept the bid from that server.
Only Mario can tell us definitively what circumstances can cause this status.

"Reset" does not always mean it was not accepted by a remote server.

If you are a mirror subscriber, perhaps the other server won it for you?

Post subject: Gixen is brilliant + Strange message from Ebay
Been using Gixen for over a year - It's absolutely brilliant. Today I even won an item despite Gixen giving me this strange message: EBAY ERROR: BID FLOW RESET (2)
