Ok.  nevermind.  I have it fixed now.

Since I am using OAuth, I am not writing a stream to the request object
(like I would do with Basic Auth).  So I changed the ContentLength to
0, and it works.

Could the response had been waiting for me to stream the content to it
since I told it the length?  I guess that could have cause the
indefinite hanging.

[twitter-dev] Re: (411) Length Required error

[eclipsed4utoo]

Here is a screenshot right before make the request.

http://yfrog.com/8d10142009115958amp

You can see that there is only the "Content-Type" header.  But you can
also see that the ContentLength is set(to 6...length of my status
update).

.Net doesn't allow me to add the header manually if the object has a
property for that header.

Another question is, what has changed?  This code has been working fine
since September 24th(sending the ContentLength).  Then on October 11th, I
start having issues.

[Chad Etzel]

Is there some sort of request.toString() method that will dump the
actual request that is being sent? Or is that what you see is only the
Content-Type?

[twitter-dev] Re: (411) Length Required error

[ryan alford]

Other code uses this snippet also.
Now this is even more hilarious.  I am testing right now.  I am sending the
ContentLength no matter what.

I now can't post status updates again.  If I give it the ContentLength, it
just hangs.  If I don't give it the ContentLength, I get the error.

If I give it the ContentLength, I can send Direct Messages(length = 0).  If
I don't give it the ContentLength, I get the same error with direct
messages.

When I view the request header, the only header there is the "Content-Type".

I am not extremely familiar with C#, but you might want to run a trace
to see what exactly the HTTP request headers are that you are sending.
Are you calling this code only for posting an update? Or are there
other methods using this code as well?  I know for requests like
friendship/create you have to set the content-length to 0 for the
request to work if you specify the username in the URL...

Here is the code...

Last night, that code worked(with the content
length being commented out).  This morning, it gives me the "length

Can you post your code snippet (in something like pastie or pastebin)?
Content-length should almost always be required for POSTs (from HTTP
spec).

You may just be hitting different servers in the Twitter server farm,
and some of them may be setup to require length and others not to.
