We're discussing a local proxy that could be used for testing. It's definitely a known problem. Um, am I reading this correctly? is 'curl --netrc' not going to work anymore once OAuth is implemented? More accurately, it's not going to work when Basic Auth is discontinued. --

As Alex stated above, we know cURL usage will break if and when basic authentication support is wholly discontinued. It's something we're equally concerned about and something we would like to avoid. Stay tuned. Doug Williams Twitter API Support http://twitter.com/dougw On Tue, Mar 10, 2009

I believe it has been suggested on the list before Twitter implement a dev sandbox with fake data that continues to support BasicAuth similar to how BrightKite(?) does. Using Curl to get started is another reason to implement this. Abraham On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 09:40, Cameron Kaiser

The real trick was what to do with keys in an open source app, but fortunately the key issue is already solved because Twitter is presumably not relying on oauth_consumer_key to unambiguously or securely identify consumer clients, But then how could Twitter revoke access for a rogue app? I
