Bill Text API: "<title>Just a moment...</title>" instead of bill text

Colleagues report they are running into some odd behavior from the congress.gov API when trying to access full bill text: When they try to access the xml version of the bill text, sometimes they get “Just a moment...” instead of the actual text.

Here is an example:

XML from 118 S 1779:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en-US"> <head> <title>Just a moment...</title>

Issue #207 has good details of what is happening here.
