Hey guys, Thank you so much for your prompt response!
The URL that I provided came from Twitter+OAUTH sdk that I'm using on my iPhone App. I was assuming that this library was going to create the correct URL for me... but it seems that it is generating something else or could it be that that my library is not updated? Do you recommend that I modify the Twitter+OAUTH to use an https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json? I only had this problem with some user timelines, for other timelines I didnt have this problem. Even when using an URL of type: https://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/justinbieber.json?count=20 The URL that I provided is coming from the following function in SA_OAuthTwitterEngine.m - (NSString *)_sendRequestWithMethod:(NSString *)method path:(NSString *)path queryParameters:(NSDictionary *)params body:(NSString *)body requestType: (MGTwitterRequestType)requestType responseType: (MGTwitterResponseType)responseType { NSString *fullPath = path; NSLog(@"SA_OAuthTwitterEngine - fullPath - pre:%@", fullPath); // -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // modification from the base clase // the base class appends parameters here // -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- if(requestType == MGTwitterUserTimelineRequest || requestType == MGTwitterUserTimelineForUserRequest || requestType == MGTwitterSearchRequest || requestType == MGTwitterSearchCurrentTrendsRequest) //added by Carlos to get correct count of status { if (params) { fullPath = [self _queryStringWithBase:fullPath parameters:params prefixed:YES]; } } // -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- //copied from MGTwitterEngine.m:465 #if YAJL_AVAILABLE NSString *domain = nil; NSString *connectionType = nil; if (requestType == MGTwitterSearchRequest || requestType == MGTwitterSearchCurrentTrendsRequest) { domain = _searchDomain; connectionType = @"http"; } else { domain = _APIDomain; if (_secureConnection) { connectionType = @"https"; } else { connectionType = @"http"; } } #else NSString *domain = _APIDomain; NSString *connectionType = nil; if (_secureConnection) { connectionType = @"https"; } else { connectionType = @"http"; } #endif NSLog(@"SA_OAuthTwitterEngine - fullPath - post:%@", fullPath); //cchacon: original //NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@://%@/%@", // (_secureConnection) ? @"https" : @"http", // _APIDomain, fullPath]; //cchacon: copied from MGTwitterEngine.m:499 NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@://%@/%@", connectionType, domain, fullPath]; NSURL *finalURL = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString]; NSLog(@"SA_OAuthTwitterEngine - finalURL:%@", [finalURL absoluteString]); if (!finalURL) { return nil; } // -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // modificaiton from the base clase // the base class creates a regular url request // we're going to create an oauth url request // -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // NSMutableURLRequest *theRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:finalURL // cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData // timeoutInterval:URL_REQUEST_TIMEOUT]; // -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OAMutableURLRequest *theRequest = [[[OAMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:finalURL consumer:self.consumer token:_accessToken realm: nil signatureProvider:nil] autorelease]; if (method) { [theRequest setHTTPMethod:method]; } [theRequest setHTTPShouldHandleCookies:NO]; // Set headers for client information, for tracking purposes at Twitter.

NSString *finalBody = @""; if (body) { finalBody = [finalBody stringByAppendingString:body]; } if (_clientSourceToken) { finalBody = [finalBody stringByAppendingString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%...@source=%@", (body) ? @"&" : @"?" , _clientSourceToken]]; } if (finalBody) { [theRequest setHTTPBody:[finalBody dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; } } // -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // modificaiton from the base clase // our version "prepares" the oauth url request // -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [theRequest prepare]; // Create a connection using this request, with the default timeout and caching policy, // and appropriate Twitter request and response types for parsing and error reporting.
