[twitter-dev] Retweeted status redirects to original status in browser
Hi I have noticed this problem from my app as well as in browser. Lets say userA logs into twitter and hits the link for retweeted status of his by userB say http://twitter.com/userB/status/retweetedStatusID , this actually redirects to http://twitter.com/userA/status/OriginalStatusID (i.e, users own original status) if userA signs out then it won't redirect. Basically i am trying to see who retweeted my tweets in Retweets of Me' tab from my app then i tried to click the status of that user but it is redirecting to my own original status (because users sign in with twitter to grant access to my app and usually they wont sign out from browser after grating access to app). It works fine when the user is not required to signin (i.e, after storing their access tokens). Looks odd to me. I always want to see the retweeted status not my own status. Is this intended or a bug? Srikanth
[twitter-dev] 401 - Unauthorized error when diacritics in status
I am getting an error message when posting accent marks and other diacritics in a status update. I saw that there was an issue [1] posted in April of last year about this problem. It seems to be with the signature generation for OAuth with the encoding of accent marks. I am using .Net(C#), and I can't figure out how to fix this. Do I use a different encoding? Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this in .Net? [1] - http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=433 Ryan
[twitter-dev] Search API..receiving the refresh_url
Hi If you do a search from the official twitter search page, every 10-20 seconds or so, you receive a json response with a refresh_url. I'm building my own Twitter search appliance and want to incorporate this feature. How can I receive this refresh url after every search and is there a way to change the interval that it updates?

[twitter-dev] Quality Filter in Streaming API with follow predicates
From http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streaming-API-Documentation#ResultQuality: Removing the quality filter from streams with follow predicates is, quite reasonably, an often requested feature. Does anyone have any ideas on the status of this feature or any suggested workarounds? We are working on a new version of TweetPo.st powered by the Streaming API. However, some of our beta testers are apparently being quality filtered and we are trying to figure out a way to get their tweets. They are OAuthed, so we can in theory poll their accounts directly for updates. However, we don't have a systematic way of figuring out whether they are being quality filtered in the first place or if that status changes subsequently. So, our specific questions are: A) Is there any update on the status of removing the quality filter from streams with follow predicates? B) Is there any way to programmatically check if a given user is being quality filtered? C) Is there any way to be notified when a given user's quality filter status changes? Any help here would be greatly appreciated as we would ideally like to use the Streaming API as much as possible and it's hard to explain to users when their tweets don't show up.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Twitter API and ETags - No 304s?
Hi Phil, Thanks for sending through the examples. I must have been setting the header incorrectly - missing the quotes or something. It does indeed work for favorites too, whether authenticated or not.. Tim.

Re: [twitter-dev] Update count by source?
You will have to incorporate some sort of statistics collection within your application.

It does indeed work for favorites too, whether authenticated or not.. Good to hear... I was having the same problem. First I was stupidly sending the ETag header instead of If-None-Match, then I wrapped quotes incorrectly. For anyone else, via curl, you need to wrap the ETag in double quotes and the whole header in single quotes. Or at least I did on my box, like so (extra spaces added for clarity). --header ' If-None-Match: 3022db84cebe898b561a397c20063f5e '
[twitter-dev] Re: Introduce yourself!
Hi, I'm Patrick Kennedy, and I grew up in Hawaii. I have worked with Department of State for several years now, currently in Vietnam, and next up, Laos - definitely your S/E Asian connection - come and visit anytime. :-) Anyways, I created a buggy twitter client in PHP (Basic Auth), and I am becoming very capable with OAuth coding now. I hope to release something cool by June, but who knows. While I may not be the best programmer in the world, I find Twitter to be a super fun way to get into coding. Often my shortcomings are with things that are difficult for many - like regex, etc - and if I had more access and code, I'd be 100 times better. Even so, I enjoy the open API twitter fun of it, and I hope to make something useful and cool in the not-too- distant future. Most of my coding is with PHP, but I am going to try out RoR pretty soon.
Re: [twitter-dev] Quality Filter in Streaming API with follow predicates
This has been the next generally scheduled user-facing feature for quite some time on the Streaming API. We've been pushing scale, operational and efficiency branches recently, and haven't exposed anything user-facing in quite some time. If we can't keep well ahead of the organic tweet growth, we're in a tough spot. I hope that we can transition back to features soon enough, and this feature should be near, if not at the top of, the list. There's a git branch that has this feature largely working, but I'm afraid that the merge back to master is going to be a very painful one. The bits, they rot. As far as programmatic detection, there are significant policy issues in play around filtered users. Getting this feature shipped is the real solution. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc.

Does anyone have any ideas on the status of this feature or any suggested workarounds? We are working on a new version of TweetPo.st powered by the Streaming API. However, some of our beta testers are apparently being quality filtered and we are trying to figure out a way to get their tweets. They are OAuthed, so we can in theory poll their accounts directly for updates. However, we don't have a systematic way of figuring out whether they are being quality filtered in the first place or if that status changes subsequently. So, our specific questions are: A) Is there any update on the status of removing the quality filter from streams with follow predicates? B) Is there any way to programmatically check if a given user is being quality filtered? C) Is there any way to be notified when a given user's quality filter status changes? Any help here would be greatly appreciated as we would ideally like to use the Streaming API as much as possible and it's hard to explain to users when their tweets don't show up.
