I'm trying to create a HTTP heading to send a tweet to my account
(using GLBasic). Unfortunately the API documentation is no help in
how this should be defined or what exactly to send.
From the scraps of a C# demo, I've got :
send$ = POST +curl$+ HTTP/1.0\r\n
INC send$, Authorization: Basic FishyMcFlipFlop:burpmachine\r\n
INC send$, status:+postdata$+\r\n
INC send$, Content-Length: +LEN(postdata$) + \r\n
INC send$, \r\n
INC send$, postdata$
With user and password being my account and password.
curl$ is the URL that being used to send the data (/1/statuses/
update.xml), and the HTML address is api.twitter.com
postdata$ contains the contents of the tweet...
Unfortunately, all I get back at the moment is :
REsult : !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//
EN http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd;
html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; lang=en xml:lang=en
more stuff here
/html
I presume oAuth needs to be used. How do you go about creating a
header-based auth ?
