[twitter-dev] Slow Image Requests

2011-06-28 Thread Kyle Mulka
I've noticed that some requests to Twitter's image servers have been slow for a few weeks now. Any plan to fix that? For example: it would take over a minute to load Twitter backgrounds or Twitter avatar images. -- Kyle Mulka http://twilk.com -- Twitter developer documentation and resources

When uploading a background image, the image contents seems to get modified. Seems like I should be able to do an MD5 sum on the file before it is uploaded, upload the image to Twitter, and when I download the image do another MD5 sum and the two should be the same. But they aren't. Why? -- Kyle
