Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Problem redirecting with oauth_callback to localhost

2010-10-28 Thread Jason Brown
I just feel the need to add a tip here:

I use the windows hosts file  (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts ) to
make my local test server mimic the live server. Similar tricks are
available on pretty much every OS.

That way, I can test with a "fully live" codebase and no need for URL
passing

Never mind.  I found that I needed to use the twitter4j
getOAuthRequestToken method that accepts a callback URL.  Bob
