[twitter-dev] PHP HTTPRequest Couldn't Connect to Server
I am attempting to write a simple extension for my site's news
interface in PHP. I'm running into a problem with getting the
oauth_token from the server - I am unable to connect. I suspect this
may be an SSL issue, as I am entirely lost on exactly how SSL plays
into this beyond the fact that it is an https connection. The
documentation, as far as I can see, only says Use SSL but never
actually says what for.
A simple little debug page I've been using to test things out:
?php
// Create the keypair
$res=openssl_pkey_new();
// Get private key
openssl_pkey_export($res, $privatekey);
// Get public key
$publickey=openssl_pkey_get_details($res);
$publickey=$publickey[key];
print MAKING...;
$TWITTER = new HTTPRequest(https://api.twitter.com/oauth/
request_token/, HTTP_METH_POST) or print (CANNOT MAKE TWITTER);
print MADEbr /\n;
print SETTING UP SSL...;
$TWITTER-setSslOptions(array(ENGINE_DEFAULT = 1, PASSWD =
$privatekey));
print SET UPbr /\n;
print ADDING HEADERS...;
$TWITTER-addHeaders(array(Authorization = $auth)) or print
(CANNOT ADD HEADERS);
print ADDEDbr /\n;
print ADDING POST...;
$TWITTER-setRawPostData($post_stuff);
print ADDEDbr /\n;
print SENDING...;
try {
print $TWITTER-send()-__toString();
}
catch (HttpException $ex) {
print $ex.br /\n;
}
print SENTbr /\n;
print REPLY: .($TWITTER-getRawResponseMessage() or (NO
RESPONSE));
?
And the resulting output:
Authorization: OAuth oauth_nonce=1b3b21dba5a3cbbc01e756bd7159ed3b,
oauth_callback=[DEBUG_PAGE], oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1,

So, this is an issue with connecting to the server, likely because the
server is expecting SSL. But, what am I supposed to be using SSL on?
The documentation at http://dev.twitter.com/auth just says SSL is
recommended and nothing more.
Any help would be much appreciated.

[twitter-dev] Question on handling oAuth Echo using twitteroauth lib
Hi All, Looking to use Abraham's twitteroauth lib on our site which is already converted to oAuth for web-based login. We have an open API that other apps (consumers -- if i understand that correctly) will be posting to using oAuth Echo. Are there any sample PHP code that I can take a look at in which the PHP script receives the post from the consumer and takes the header stuff to verify the user on Twitter? Specifically in the oAuth Echo flow? I created a PHP script to simulate the consumer post to me which includes the oauth_consumer_key, oauth_signature_method, oauth_token, oauth_timestamp, oauth_nonce, oauth_version, oauth_signature, X-Auth- Service-Provider, X-Verify-Credentials-Authorization and the signing URL. Once I post these to my PHP script, not quite sure what to do to verify the user. Perhaps I can use the twitteroauth and just fill in some blanks? Sample code will be extremely helpful. Thanks in advance. Y
Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Coming soon: a solution for Open Source applications using OAuth with the Twitter API
In facebook's desktop authflow, rather then giving you an access_token endpoint to call with a secret to exchange a callback and get an valid access_token, you instead call authorize and it will redirect the user to a login_success.html page on facebook.com with the access token in a fragment on that page. (see http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/desktop ) Their idea is that if you can embed a browser and get the user to authenticate through it, you can inspect the url of the embedded browser and detect when it hits login_success.html and take the access token fragment and store it. However, what is interesting about that is that I can embed client_ids I stole from other desktop apps (and possibly other web apps if they don't protect against it) and generate valid access_tokens against other ids in my own desktop app. The user may notice the app they authorize isn't the one they are using because because facebook identifies the app with its name and icon on the authorize page. However if I'm being evil, i could social engineer the user some how like I could name my app the same as the one I'm stealing or something similar and use the same icon, and then I can get access tokens like I'm that app. Basically when it comes to desktop apps, Facebook can't for sure tell the difference between my desktop app and illegitimate one. If Facebook blocks entire apps or rate limits by them, then I can still DOS the app by using their client_id. It doesn't offer anymore application identity protection then just embedding a secret and using the OAuth 1.0a flow and embedding secrets. Facebook probably realizes this. Since you can mark your app as a desktop app and not a web app in your app settings, they probably realize this issue and know that you can't always trust the desktop clients so why even bother with secrets (probably good that they ask your app type upfront for this reason and it doesn't give a false sense of security by even having a secret). From an operations perspective for FB, it gives them less options to safely blacklisting desktop apps without taking out legitimate ones though.

Basically when it comes to desktop apps, Facebook can't for sure tell the difference between my desktop app and illegitimate one. Not only that, they (or anyone) cannot tell a legitimate desktop from an illegitimate one. An illegitimate person can take a desktop with a bunch of legitimate apps and do illegitimate things with the whole collection. And then we should not forget that a mobile phone is a the same as a desktop, from the point of view of the web server. Phones are usually not protected very well, both in terms of autheticating users and in physical terms. What is it that makes an app illegitimate? Basically that is impersonates the user, and does things the user doesn't want done. Unless of course the app does business on behalf of a third party with both the user and the server (twitter, facebook, ...). Collecting data is doing business in this sense. Then the app is an agent for that third party. But for a lot of apps, this is not the case, they act entirely as an agent for the user.

[twitter-dev] Recent Places-related API enhancements more to come...
Hi Developers,
Today we're launching some of the functionality around Places that we
announced at Chirp. You can read more about the feature here:
http://blog.twitter.com/2010/06/twitter-places-more-context-for-your.html
The launch comes with a batch of API enhancements, with a number of further
API additions just around the corner (like creating and updating places,
obviously a crucial component for many implementors).
The documentation in this area is a honestly a bit light at the moment, but
we'll be offering some more comprehensive documentation going over suggested
use cases, flows, and more in the coming days.
What matters most for you:
- GET geo/nearby_places is now GET geo/search, with some added
functionality. This is a companion to GET geo/reverse_geocode, that's ideal
for using in conjunction with a place selection UI.
Read all about it at : http://bit.ly/dvNmYB
- A query parameter called query lets you do textual matching when
trying to find a place
- A query parameter called ip lets you do a lookup based on an IP
address
- You can fine tune results with granularity, accuracy, and the
contained_within parameter, which allows you to identify a place_id
(matching something like a city), and only search for places within that
place.
- place tags in XML output, place attribute in JSON output:
Tweets that have a place_id associated with them can now contain some
additional information not available in the past, including some attributes
that further describe the location.
Some common place/attributes you might start seeing:
- name
- street_address
- locality
- region
- phone
- postal_code
- twitter (a twitter account associated with the place)
- cross_streets
Attribute key names can be variant. These are just some of the attribute
keys you will see, with much more to come.
Here's a quick XML representation of a status with a place:

[twitter-dev] response when limit reached - when did this change?
I used to get an HTTP Bad request error when passing the rate limit and used that to make my process sleep. Now this evidently changed and I am getting: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? hash request/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss? user_id=12765amp;count=100amp;since_id=1626417105/request errorRate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 2 requests per hour./error /hash Which was ignored and caused me to pound on the server. When was this changed? Is this new response subject to changes in the near future? I couldn't fund the doc page on this.
[twitter-dev] Using OAuth with a one-user application
Hi everyone. I'm brand new to OAuth and have read some documents on how it works, but there's something that is still not clear to me. Let's say I want to build an application in which I want to allow a group of people to send updates through a unique twitter account (@nice_group_of_people, for example). If I use OAuth for this, do I need to get a new Access Token for every update my application sends on behalf of @nice_group_of_people, or can I just do it once and store the Access Token forever? Does the Access Token expires somehow? Best Regards, Felipe
[twitter-dev] Atom Search
I am new to Twitter, and Rails for that matter. I am trying to create a new parsing method to use Feedzirra for fulling tweets. Is there a list of each field available using the atom format? I see the fields listed in the json example at http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/search, but I understand that atom offers at least an author field, and does not offer as many fields as json. Thanks!
[twitter-dev] Keep it real
I just wanted to let everyone know that I won't be on the list much going forward. Reading the list has become a time consuming burden (1000+ emails/month) and much of it has become reiteration for me. Getting more time on my own projects and paying for the roof over my head are top priorities right now. But if you have questions pertaining to me feel free to cc me on them and I will be more then happy to jump in. If you are interested in hiring me for Twitter integration projects (especially OAuth with just over 2 weeks left) or just want to say hi you can reach me as 4bra...@gmail.com or @abraham. Oh. I have several Twitter API related blog posts in draft so be sure to look for them on http://blog.abrah.am/. I'll be around :) Abraham - Abraham Williams | Hacker Advocate | http://abrah.am @abraham | http://projects.abrah.am | http://blog.abrah.am This email is: [ ] shareable [x] ask first [ ] private.
Re: [twitter-dev] Keep it real
Abraham, Thank you for all your help and contribution to this community. I know lots of people (including myself) who owe you a debt of gratitude for the help you have given here. I feel your pain, so to speak, as I have become similarly recluse on this list. I'm sure we'll see you lurking around every so often :) -Chad On Mon, Jun 14, 2010 at 9:13 PM, Abraham Williams 4bra...@gmail.com wrote: I just wanted to let everyone know that I won't be on the list much going forward.

[twitter-dev] 502 Bad Gateway when trying to receive xml results
Hi Guys,
I've got an asp.net usercontrol to display twitter feeds.
It requests the xml using this url and then parsing it: http://
twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.xml?
screen_name=INSERTUSERNAMEHEREcount=INSERTPOSTCOUNTHERE;
ie http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.xml?
screen_name=ladygagacount=5;
public ListTwitterStatus GetStatusUpdates(string screenName, int
count)
{
string url = String.Format(StatusesUserTimeline, screenName, count);
//this becomes something like:
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=ladygagacount=5
string xml = FetchXmlFromUrl(url);
return CreateStatusObjectsFromXml(xml, count);
}
protected virtual string FetchXmlFromUrl(string url)
{
using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
using (Stream s = client.OpenRead(url))
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(s))
{
return sr.ReadToEnd();
}
}
etc etc (if you need more code I can provide)
Just starting over the weekend on most of our sites we're now getting
the response: The remote server returned an error: (502) Bad Gateway
when trying to fetch the xml from the url
just wondering what would cause the 502???
the usercontrol is cached so we don't exceed the request limit..
Re: [twitter-dev] 502 Bad Gateway when trying to receive xml results
For now, Twitter is down since the last couple of hours
