Hi guys,
I'm a developer from China who wanted to get the xAuth access for a
web-based application the other day, but was rejected due to Twitter's
policy. Brain replied to my ticket and said that I could join the
discussion here. So let's get back to the topic a little bit and see
if there's a

@Dave
Thanks for your suggestion. I do indeed have a mysql, but haven't seen
the need to implement it in my app (http://twimply.com) since it
basicly only offers an alternative web interface for using twitter.

Hi,
This is probably a basic question - but what is the best option if you
have written an integration for a web-based application that is
installed on multiple sites?
The URL is going to change per installation (and won't be publicly
accessible), and I would really like to minimise the impact

One solution, which I know won't win the popularity prize, is for
Twitter to relax its XAuth restrictions and allow web apps to use full
OAuth and/or XAuth, depending on what works best for them.

In fact, you could set a threshold per consumer key that you can vary.
In other words, you can then allow a higher percentage XAuth (even
100%) to an app that caters largely to a Chinese market. And 0% or 10%
to an app that caters largely to the USA market.

I'm still not buying it that oauth is going add any value for desktop
clients with regards to password security. Basically you are now storing
token in the desktop client instead of password.
The added security is that either your malicious app, or, say some
trojan in the user's computer,

this point, its just 3rd party providers, and end clients. the @twitterapi

hi craig.
have you gotten access to xAuth? applications are not, by default, given
access to xAuth - if you e-mail a...@twitter.com with
- your client token; and
- a description of your application
then we can grant it access.

No, I didn't ask for access. I guess that's the bug: there's no place
during the signup process that tells you that you need to go through a
manual process to get xAuth access...

Raffi,
We really need a resolution for this issue before Basic Auth is
deprecated.
It sounds as if Twitter is telling developers of web apps that they
cannot provide service to Chinese users, and other users behind
firewalls that block access to twitter.com. But that can't be right,
can it?

sorry! i was just reminded about a point of clarification - streaming API
will still support basic auth. this note *only* pertains to the REST API.

you're going to be hearing a lot from me over the next 9 weeks. our plan
is to turn off basic authorization on the API by june 30, 2010
Raffi, that is super awesome. Thank you.
Any chance that you will have OAuth 2.0 in production before then?

there is a really good chance - now that oauth 2.0 has been submitted as a
draft http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hammer-oauth2-00, we are going to
spend some time catching up our oauth 2.0 implementation. at that point,
we'll evaluate letting it loose.

Hi Raffi,
Great that we've got a date for basic auth deprecation, but is there any
news/timescales on OAuth Echo? We've got nine weeks and counting to get the
spec, get the service providers to implement it, build it into clients and
get our user-bases to upgrade if they want to be able to upload
