[twitter-dev] Re: Coldfusion Twitter status posting help
Fair enough. I did see the basic authentication mention in the wiki guide. I can parse together the username:password and put it into base64...I just don't know how to pass that to Twitter. Do you know where I can find an example online? I've looked and found examples like I posted above that seem to work for others...just not working for me it seems. I wonder if there's an issue with odd characters being in the password? I have a single character that's not alphanumeric...I wonder if that could be it?

You need to use HTTP Basic authentication and only pass in status as a parameter.

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. This seems a really simply thing but it's driving me to distraction. I don't believe there's a setting in Twitter itself that is causing the issue...but perhaps I'm wrong. Any help/assistance would be most welcome and appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Abava, thanks. Unfortunately, the CFML engine I'm using runs on .NET so I can't use the JSP stuff without a lot of wrappers and such.
