[twitter-dev] oAuth and 401 Unauthorised Request
Hi, Following on from my previous email about not being able to use verify_credentials, I am still having sporadic problems and I am wondering if anyone else has seen them. Our page call creates a request_token and navigates to the the twitter oAuth page, on successful return we swap our tokens for an access token, we then call verify_credentials.json. Sometimes (quite often) when we call this method we get a 401 Un-authorised exception. If no-one else see's this then I will have to see if the library I am using has the problem.

[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth-like user experience examples
Exactly. Changing the OS is a long way off if people want to use these technologies today. I agree completely, nothing is going to change overnight. What I would like to do is encourage all of us to look towards the future. Eventually, we can have our cake and eat it too (have something with a great UX *and* be secure). That said, what I would like to push for is a updating the OAuth spec (and Twitter's implementation) to support non-browser-based authentication gateways, as I described in link [1]. As pointed out, this solution has one flaw, and that it is still requires the provider to trust the owner of the authentication gateway... which, until OS vendors provide a blessed gateway, would be the apps themselves. OAuth purists wouldn't like this because it requires trusting apps, but that point is moot given the embedded web view workarounds so many apps are using (as pointed out in prior posts, and in the linked discussion thread). As I wrote on my blog, we can build a system today that leverages [an updated version of] OAuth, has great UX and can be upgraded to something perfectly secure once OS vendors get on board. Until then, we'd have a system that is *just* as secure as Basic Authentication, as it would require users to trust the clients (consumers) that they use... (and if you use any email client today, well, you'd be a hypocrite to complain). Twitter folks helped *invent* OAuth, and it's a really clever/creative solution. It would be awesome if they were the first to go live with an even better implementation of it.

[twitter-dev] Twitter Profile Image(s)
Hello, I'm working as the developer of a Wordpress plugin that pulls twittar avatars into wordpress comments. What it actually does is to pull the avatar img each time user comments but the problem is that users change the avatar often so we need to make API calls very often. The default syntax url for Twitter profile images is: http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitter_production/profile_images/80319404/avatars_bigger.png (avatars is the name of the image in user computer) The problem is is that avatars change whenever users change avatar making it impossible to store the user's avatar url in DB and forcing me to do a lot of API calls in order to get the most recent image. What i want is to be able to call directly the user profile image whitout need to call API first. Any ideas? My question is if there's another syntax which is independent from the image name? Something like: http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitter_production/profile_images/80319404/bigger.png If yes: How can i do that without need to call the API on each page load (which is huge and terrible)? if no: is that planned?
[twitter-dev] Getting Profile Picture/Avatar
Hello, I run a application that retrieves twitter users profile pictures and adds them to wordpress blog comments. The actual format of an twitter user picture is the following: http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitter_production/profile_images/80319404/avatars_bigger.png (the avatars bit is the original pic name) This means that everytime the user changes his avatar i MUST change the url i will call for the picture. This makes me call the API more often than what i wish (exceeding limits as this is to use in different WP blogs). My question is if I'm missing some technique that let's me pull the avatar regardingless the original uploaded image name. Something like: http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitter_production/profile_images/80319404/useravatar_bigger.png (the useravatar bit wouldn't change) That way i would need to call the API only one time per user, then i would store the pic adress on my webpage and each time avatar changes i wouldn't need to change the avatar URL and make another API call i would just add the img. Any idea if that's possible and, if not, will this be implemented? Thanks

[twitter-dev] Re: Result count with search api
However, many languages support functions that turn xml into arrays and/or objects, which usually have accompanying .length or count() properties/functions that will give you the length. for example, in javascript with json format I usually store the result in a variable called data, so I can say var count = data.results.length; In PHP I think you can do something similar with XML such as (assuming $xml has the xml data): $data = simplexml_load_string($xml); $count = count($data-results); ymmv, -Chad On Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 12:27 PM, Doug Williams do...@igudo.com wrote: Louis, That is not currently supported. @dougw On Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 11:51 AM, houdelou houde...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Is it possible to get the number of search results from the search api?
