Re: [twitter-dev] Announcements
I have the same question and have posed it repeatedly via various channels... For some reason Twitter refuses to comment on it...

I don't need anyone else's password, just my own.

My question is...how do you drop Basic Auth support without OAuth delegation. Otherwise, how do third-party sites like TwitPic ever work with clients w/o the password.

i wouldn't qualify a text-only client as a desktop client :P more detail will be coming - but, in general, i would ask developers to think about privacy from their users' standpoint :P On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 10:31 AM, Cameron Kaiser wrote: >> there will be much more information about this soon. in general, the >> API for browser-less apps is designed for applications or environments >> that are unable to bring up a web browser -- desktop clients, >> presumably, can still bring up a web page? > > What about text-only client such as TTYtter or the myriad of automatic > systems?

What about text-only client such as TTYtter or the myriad of automatic systems? Unless you make the OAuth page accessible over Lynx, which would be cool, but I doubt. :) -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- The best defense against logic is ignorance. ---
Re: [twitter-dev] Announcements
there will be much more information about this soon. in general, the API for browser-less apps is designed for applications or environments that are unable to bring up a web browser -- desktop clients, presumably, can still bring up a web page? either way, the benefit of the web page is that you give the user a sense of security that their twitter username and password is safe and unshared.

From the announcement I read here: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/12/09/twitter-le-web-2009/ > 3) Anyone making OAuth requests to Twitter is soon getting an increased rate > limit (10x) – about to launch API for browser-less apps, and starting Basic > Auth decprecation in June 2010. Is there more info about this available. I'd love to know more about the "API for browser-less apps" -- specifically: 1) Will this be appropriate for desktop clients? 2) When?
