Re: [twitter-dev] Authentication on opening Twitter.com in browser

2010-09-01 Thread Matt Harris
Hey,

This would require the application to know the users credentials -
something the move to OAuth was to avoid - and so it isn't possible to
auto-log somebody in.

Best,
Matt

[twitter-dev] Authentication on opening Twitter.com in browser

2010-09-01 Thread qip-er
Hello!

Is it possible to open Twitter website with a user logged in?
There are links in my desktop application that forwards a user into
twitter.com pages, and it would be handy to automate login operation.

Is there a method?

Thanks.
