Re: [twitter-dev] Error posting "_" to twitter using statuses/update

2010-09-18 Thread Tom van der Woerdt 
Just checked your Base String in my OAuth Base String Validator
(), you apparently use too much URL
encoding on the status= part of the Base String. If I replace the %255F
with %5F, it doesn't give an error. ;-) (Don't ask me why. It just does)

[twitter-dev] Error posting "_" to twitter using statuses/update

2010-09-17 Thread Elsa 
I got a question about sending "_" to twitter. It is working fine if I
post it from twitter site but when I use statuses/update to post a
status with "_", twitter is returning a failure. Posting other
characters (e.g. "^" shown below) are fine using exactly the same
code. I've attached the success and failure cases with the base
strings used below. Please advice. Thanks!
