What happens if you plug in your callback URL locally into a browser? Same result, or does the page successfully load? ∞ Andy Badera ∞ +1 518-641-1280 Google Voice ∞ This email is: [ ] bloggable [x] ask first [ ] private ∞ Google me: http://www.google.com/search?q=andrew%20badera On Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 3:12 PM, Mike mike_p...@hotmail.com wrote: I have been developing a Twitter application for the past several weeks and have had no problems whatsoever interfacing with the Twitter API for authentication and updating profile settings.

Please keep discussions on list. The issue clearly is one at your end, if you get the same results by going directly to the URL. You can't rely on anything GoDaddy says, their support is 100% full of idiots. Were it me, and I couldn't undo what I'd done, I'd probably create a fresh web root, and rebuild piece by piece until it broke again, or until it was 100% in shape again. ∞ Andy Badera ∞ +1 518-641-1280 Google Voice ∞ This email is: [ ] bloggable [x] ask first [ ] private ∞ Google me: http://www.google.com/search?q=andrew%20badera On Sat, Nov 7, 2009 at 4:29 PM, Mike mike_p...@hotmail.com wrote: Andrew, I get the same result if I manually copy paste the URL with the oauth token into another browser window.

Andrew, Do you mean to manually go to the page on my site that Twitter redirects you to after performing OAuth, and plug in the OAuth token into the URL? If so, that did nothing either. The site still hung. Thanks, - Mike On Nov 7, 2:19 am, Andrew Badera and...@badera.us wrote: What happens if you plug in your callback URL locally into a browser?

Whether you plug your token in or not shouldn't matter -- the callback script should fire when you call the URL, regardless. All you're looking for is a page load here, whether it errors or not. As I said, the problem is clearly one on your end, if you can't load the callback page by calling it directly in a browser. If you haven't already, check your logs. (Firewall messages, Apache or whatever other server, etc. etc. Particularly Apache, if this all started with .htaccess issues.) ∞ Andy Badera ∞ +1 518-641-1280 Google Voice ∞ This email is: [ ] bloggable [x] ask first [ ] private ∞ Google me: http://www.google.com/search?q=andrew%20badera On Sat, Nov 7, 2009 at 1:17 PM, Mike mike_p...@hotmail.com wrote: Andrew, Do you mean to manually go to the page on my site that Twitter redirects you to after performing OAuth, and plug in the OAuth token into the URL?
