Unfortunately, I'm not always made aware in advance when changes to language on the site and in emails are made. Whitelisting is one option, or let us know what other headers you'd need so that you don't have to parse the emails at all. On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 14:46, Alan Holding (brokendrum70) <

Thank you. This is not in the C# library I'm using, but I'll configure it manually. Do you by any chance know whether updating status counts against the rate limit? I wrote a little test program for playing around with the API, that simply posts the time as a status message every 30 seconds. Some

Cannot POST Updates; API returns a 400.

Hi, I'm testing the exact same open-source script as dabr.co.uk on my server. It uses curl to POST updates using JSON. However, everytime it makes a POST request, the API returns a Error code 400. All GET requests to the API seem to work just fine. I'd appreciate some help on this :)

The timeout I see as more of a GAE issue, not a Twitter one. You get what you pay for, on both sides of that equation. No SLA, no billing from Twitter, beta and no billing on GAE's part ... and I think we can agree, GAE hasn't been particular forthcoming nor cooperative about what constitutes a tr
