[twitter-dev] Remote Server Error : 403 Forbidden

[Siva Shunmugam]

Hi Guys,

I have created a code which posts the comments to the twitter.. but
the code was posting only for the first time... and from the next time
itz throwing Remote Server Error : 403 Forbidden error. I am
experiencing this issue only for the past two day.. previously it was
working properly..

Let me know your feedback..

Here is my code which I have used

    HttpWebRequest request = null;
            WebResponse webResponse = null;
            Stream reqStream = null;

            try
            {

                XmlDocument result = new XmlDocument();
                string user =
Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(username +
":" + password));

                byte[] bytes =
System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("status=" + description);
                request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(@"http://
twitter.com/statuses/update.xml");
                request.Method = "POST";
                request.ServicePoint.Expect100Continue = false;
                request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + user);
                request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-
urlencoded";
                request.ContentLength = bytes.Length;


                reqStream = request.GetRequestStream();
                reqStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
                reqStream.Close();

                webResponse = request.GetResponse();
                using (StreamReader sr = new
StreamReader(webResponse.GetResponseStream()))
                {
                    result.Load(sr.BaseStream);
                    sr.Close();
                }

Thanx..
Siva
