[twitter-dev] Re: media types in the tweet
what confuses me is that twitter for example send request to get the
next page of home timeline, and get normal response [{},{},...]
contain no info at all -even in entities- about the media types, but
rendering the tweets indicate media types as i mentioned before with
icons, trying to read twitter front-end JavaScript files and
understand how they do it ...

[twitter-dev] oauth parameters encoding
how to encode the request parameter in the post body, and in the base string after getting the access_token and access_token_secret, it will be very helpful if you give me the mapping from the reserved characters and their percent encoding as my language encoding facilities output different results than the twitter oauth guide page.

Yes, i use the input in the mentioned article and get the same output
using the HMAC_SH1 in my code.

AIR allow cross domain requests, but i didn't trace the request (i'll
trace after replying)

[twitter-dev] JavaScript XAuth library ??????
Hi guys i can't wrap my head around OAuth/XAuth for browserless apps is there any JavaScript Library for easy working with XAuth To unsubscribe from this group, send email to twitter-development-talk+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words "REMOVE ME" as the subject.
[twitter-dev] Re: ???????
the first request is figuring out the relation between the users http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method:-friendships-show and the second request to send the direct message but it seams the the only solution as Abraham Williams said "If you don't wan't to make 2 API calls just try sending the DM and if it fails then you know there is no friendship there.
