Try grabbing the HTTP request and response with a debugging proxy like
Charles. That will let us know what's really being sent and received.

Oops, sorry for the lack of detail. Here is the body of the
postTwitter method (as i said, I'm able to post to other twitter URLs
within the API with this same piece of code):
def postTwitter(url, hashParams)
url = URI.parse(url)
req = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url.path)
req.basic_auth($username, $password)
req.set_form_data(hashParams, ';')
res = Net::HTTP.new($twitter, $twitPort).start {|http| http.request
(req) }
puts res
case res
when Net::HTTPSuccess, Net::HTTPRedirection
return 'true'
else
return 'false'
end
end

If you provide the full request/response output from your call to the
method, I'm sure somewhat can tell you what's going on. Thanks!

Hi guys, I just started kicking the tires on the API (thanks, btw!)
and am having a horrendous time posting to /direct_messages/new.xml.
The response that comes back is invalid request which doesn't give
me much to debug or go off of. I am able to post to the udpate/status
urls just fine so I dont think its my code. here is how I'm doing the
post in Ruby:
postTwitter(http://twitter.com/direct_messages/new.xml;, {text =
'this is a test', user = 'saumil})
postTwitter is my wrapper method to execute the http request and works
for other urls, just not this one.
Thanks!
