[twitter-dev] Twitter API HTTP Heading
I'm trying to create a HTTP heading to send a tweet to my account (using GLBasic). Unfortunately the API documentation is no help in how this should be defined or what exactly to send. From the scraps of a C# demo, I've got : send$ = POST +curl$+ HTTP/1.0\r\n INC send$, Authorization: Basic FishyMcFlipFlop:burpmachine\r\n INC send$, status:+postdata$+\r\n INC send$, Content-Length: +LEN(postdata$) + \r\n INC send$, \r\n INC send$, postdata$ With user and password being my account and password. curl$ is the URL that being used to send the data (/1/statuses/ update.xml), and the HTML address is api.twitter.com postdata$ contains the contents of the tweet... Unfortunately, all I get back at the moment is : REsult : !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional// EN http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd; html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; lang=en xml:lang=en more stuff here /html I presume oAuth needs to be used. How do you go about creating a header-based auth ?
