Your basic auth value should be in a header not the post body. The other X- values I think also go into headers, but I don't provide those really so not sure. I'm not even sure if twitter pays attention to those. Josh On Tue, Dec 1, 2009 at 9:25 AM, Prometheus3k prometheu...@gmail.com wrote: Hi

By using oauth your application won't break in the future if the user switches passwords. Also you don't need to store their password in the plain. You only hold onto the credentials until you get the token. Then you can discard them. On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 7:55 PM, Fauzil Hamdi
