[twitter-dev] Problems with authentication [Java/Scala, Apache HttpClient]
Ive written a Twitter client library in Scala (a JVM-based object/functional language) that uses Apache HttpClient to connect to the Twitter servers, but now (while at a conference here in Munich) the Basic HTTP authentication fails with a 401 and no other error message that I can see. The HttpClient library *seems* to be sending the right information in the right headers, and I know the authentication credentials work because I can Curl to the page successfully. (This also means that the problem, obviously, isnt Twitters fault, at least as far as I can see.) If youve worked with the Twitter API from Apache HttpClient in Java, can you please ping me off-list? (Or, assuming the conversation isnt considered noise, on-list is fine, too.) I could use some ideas on how to successfully debug the problem Im having. One other question vis-à-vis authentication: for Basic authentication, should the realm be Twitter API (which is what Twitter sends back from a successful Curl invocation), or should it be nothing at all? Ive seen examples that do both, and would like to do the right thing, whatever that is. (It seems to make no difference with my authentication woes, either way.) Thanks!

What is the documented range for status IDs? (How high can they go?)

Sorry, an error in phrasing. It was previously mentioned that this change was pending. We had not previously announced a date for the change. Normally, we prefer to provide more advance notice where possible, but I'm letting you all know immediately after our operations team informed me that it was necessary to make this change on Friday.

[twitter-dev] Either destroy is/was failing, or my understanding of destroy is/was failing
I've been hacking on the Twitter API, and I'm running into some serious weirdness with destroy. I post a message: C:\ curl -u name:pass -d status=Testing http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? status created_atWed Sep 02 10:10:23 + 2009/created_at id3708721364/id textTesting/text sourcelt;a href=quot;http://apiwiki.twitter.com/quot; rel=quot;nofollowquot;gt;APIlt;/agt;/source truncatedfalse/truncated in_reply_to_status_id/in_reply_to_status_id in_reply_to_user_id/in_reply_to_user_id favoritedfalse/favorited in_reply_to_screen_name/in_reply_to_screen_name user id70927096/id nameTed Neward/name screen_nameTestingScitter/screen_name location/location description/description profile_image_urlhttp://s.twimg.com/a/1251845223/images/default_profile_no rmal.png/profile_image_url url/url protectedfalse/protected followers_count1/followers_count profile_background_color9ae4e8/profile_background_color profile_text_color00/profile_text_color profile_link_colorff/profile_link_color profile_sidebar_fill_colore0ff92/profile_sidebar_fill_color profile_sidebar_border_color87bc44/profile_sidebar_border_color friends_count6/friends_count created_atWed Sep 02 09:49:13 + 2009/created_at favourites_count0/favourites_count utc_offset/utc_offset time_zone/time_zone profile_background_image_urlhttp://s.twimg.com/a/1251845223/images/themes/ theme1/bg.gif/profile_background_image_url profile_background_tilefalse/profile_background_tile statuses_count4/statuses_count notificationsfalse/notifications verifiedfalse/verified followingfalse/following /user /status . which is all good, but then I try to delete that message: C:\ curl -u name:pass --http-request DELETE http://twitter.com/statuses/destroy/3708721364.xml ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? hash request/statuses/destroy/3708721364.xml/request errorWe could not delete that status for some reason./error /hash What gives?
