Hi,
I'm using the Scala code snippet below to post to Twitter from a GAE
application.
val credentials = "XXXXX" // Base64 encoded version
of username:password
val req = new HTTPRequest(new URL("http://twitter.com/statuses/
update.xml"), HTTPMethod.POST)
req.addHeader(new HTTPHeader("Authorization", "Basic " +
credentials))
// Following headers are added as a attempt to get it working, no
luck though
req.addHeader(new HTTPHeader("Host", "twitter.com"))
req.addHeader(new HTTPHeader("Accept", "*/*"))
req.addHeader(new HTTPHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-
form-urlencoded"))
val resp = fetcher.fetch(req)
This always results in a 403 response code suggesting that username/
password are not correct.
To ensure the credentials are OK I used the following simple curl
command to see what should be posted:
curl -v -u USER:PASS -d status="test ab"
http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
(Replace USER:PASS with real username/password).
This command dumps the headers being posted and these are exactly the
same as the ones I included the above Scala code.
Any suggestions what the problem might be? Or is Twitter blocking
requests from GAE in general?
Thanks,
Gero
