To give some more context: I tried updating my status from a Java app,
not from a browser.  I managed to write the utterly trivial code to
update my status using HTTP 'Basic' and then figured that using OAuth
as a direct replacement for HTTP 'Basic' might work.  Unfortunately it
didn't.  I would like to it; since sending an HMAC of a nonce, a
timestamp and my password would make me happier than sending my
password in the clear in the style of HTTP 'Basic'.

So the rephrased question is: Do twitter support "OAuth as a direct
replacement of HTTP
'Basic'"?  If so I obviously got my HMAC computation wrong or used a
bad timestamp or am not allowed to use OAuth.

If OAuth cannot be used in place of HTTP 'Basic' at twitter, my
question is: why not?  I accept that browsers might not support OAuth
(yet) but, e.g., mobile phone twitter clients could easily.
