[twitter-dev] Re: update_profile_image gives me head ache
Thanks for the input. I found out I forgot to sent the Content-Length header field. Then Twitter accepts the image. But the image that show up is just a white square. I'd guess the API doesn't accept base64 encoded image transfers. I will try to rewrite the routine to send the image as binary information instead.

It hardly seems like the most robust feature. Normally I just keep trying and waiting a few minutes to see if it actually went through.

Hi Einar, You seem to be submitting your POST request incorrectly. This is how I (successfully) submit my update_profile_image: Content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=BOUNDARYHERE --BOUNDARYHERE Content-Disposition: form-data; name=image; filename=FILENAMEHERE.png Content-Type: image/png (image) --BOUNDARYHERE-- Zachary West On Sat, Mar 14, 2009 at 14:46, Einar m...@einarsundgren.se wrote: I'm currently working on a c++ wrapper for the twitter API. Everything works smooth except uploading images. Both profile images and background images. The image I use is a png which already has been used as an Twitter avatar. So the response about a big image does not seem very likely. I send a HTTP-request that looks like this. Any idea why it won't work?

FWIW, I've had trouble uploading a profile picture using the web interface itself (it seems to accept it, but then doesn't show it). It hardly seems like the most robust feature. Normally I just keep trying and waiting a few minutes to see if it actually went through.
