Some random thoughts: -- At line #42, you call client.getHostConfiguration().getHost() and client.getHostConfiguration().getPort(). I would assume they return null and -1 respectively. I definitely can't see how they could be Twitter's host/port, since HttpClient hasn't been told about Twitter by that line in the code. Now, as it turns out, AuthScope.ANY_HOST and AuthScope.ANY_PORT *happen* to be null and -1, so this line works, but you might want to make that explicit rather than relying upon the not-connected defaults. -- You haven't told us how the code doesn't work. If the answer is that Twitter is not accepting the authentication (e.g., you're getting a 401 Unauthorized back), try adding AuthScope.REALM to your AuthScope, as I've run into problems from time to time with invalid realms with HTTP auth. If the code is failing in some other way (exception, other response code from Twitter), let us know the details. -- You're sure the Fail Whale wasn't showing up on the Twitter site when you tried your code, right? ;-) -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android Training on the Ranch in September! http://www.bignerdranch.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
