MailChimp API returns success for failure

[dreese]

If I don't set any MailChimp values in settings or info.plist, then try to submit a signup, the MC API returns a "success" value with an error message and code embedded inside it. I would have thought it would return "failure".

This might be a ChimpKit issue.

This is a good find. I may have to fix it on the client side, because MailChimp doesn't seem to return failure for a bad API key.

That's really odd. Maybe we need to submit a bug report to mailchimp? Or is it chimpkit that needs fixing?

Seems to me that we should submit this bug to Mailchimp, but we should fix it so there isn't a crash.

I haven't seen a crash, though there may be one. It's just that a clear failure is still triggering the "success" callback rather than the "fail" callback.
