[twitter-dev] Streaming API and authentication

2010-11-02 Thread EastSideDev
I've been using the streaming library in one of my apps. My
understanding is that the streaming API still supports Basic
Authentication, so I don't need to make any changes. My app did stop
working with messages indicating that I am not being properly
authenticated. Do I need to switch to oAuth here as well (not user
streams)?

The streaming API supports basic auth *now*.  At some point in the future it
will not.  If you're developing something new with basic auth you're setting
yourself up for more work in the not too distant future.

As far as the present message, only userstreams and sitestreams require
oauth currently, so it's not likely an oauth issue.
