[twitter-dev] Re: Uploading a Profile Image help
This call was working fine for me using basic auth. I've been converting my code to oAuth on my test machine. I now receive a 200 reply and the user's profile data, but the image is not updated.

It is over a couple of months since this functionality is broken. Last heard, someone was working on it. After that there is no news on this. We all are still waiting for a response from Twitter developers on this issue.

That's a lot of code, but it's easier to debug this kind of issues if
you show the request to Twitter.

PS: You should switch to oAuth!
