[twitter-dev] Basic Auth : Could not authenticate you strange issue

2009-12-03 Thread jaybenoit
I am experiencing an issue with our app, that uses Basic Auth, where
periodically it can not authenticate the user when trying to perform
any API calls for fucntions that require authentication.

My code has been working for several months and now this seemed to
start happening mid to late November.

It is really weird because it works half the time and the then can not
authenticate the other half. It is not a rate limitation as I have
already checked that to make sure. Has anybody else had this issue
occur? Is there some other type of limitation that I am not possibly
aware of that would send back the Could Not Authenticate you error
even when we are sending the correct login and password?

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you using other apps or alternate account credentials? i.e. have you
checked for a cookie conflict?
