[twitter-dev] twitter app to be used at a kiosk (aka public computer)

2011-03-07 Thread Chris
Hi,

We are currently developing a twitter app to allow people to tweet
what they experienced at a fair, from a public computer.

everything works fine except that users stays logged in when using the
oauth/authenticate or oauth/authorize mehods.

appending the force_login=true parameter to the oauth/authenticate
actually forces the login screen to display (that's kind of a fix for
now...), but this is a security risk, as the previous user is still
logged in ;)

I found that an issue (#1453 - 
http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=1453)
was opened over a year ago states this, but no updates...

does anyone know a way to logout a user programmatically or at least
prevent twitter.com for storing its authentication cookies after a
successful login?

thx!

The best work around I currently know of is after users logout of your site
to display a prompt reminding them to logout of twitter.com too.
