I feel a bit silly asking this in the time of OAuth - but I'm not quite there yet...
So how to return the rate limit for a given user? Looking at the api documentation I presume you need to authenticate (log in) The obvious way to do this is via GET with: http://username:passw...@twitter.com/account/rate_limit_status.xml I've also tried base64'ing the username:password as suggested here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication http://base64(User:Pass)@twitter.com/account/rate_limit_status.xml However, every time I try I'm returned with the rate limit for the IP address and not the user. I know I'm missing something (a few sandwiches from the picnic probably) - could someone enlighten me? Many thanks
