[twitter-dev] Bug? Updates 140 characters return success with prior update payload

2009-10-17 Thread Marc Mims
Updates longer than 140 characters should be forcibly truncated according to the documentation. Instead, the update call returns with a 200 status and the payload contains the prior update. Has there been a change to the API or is this a bug.
