Re: [twitter-dev] Basic Auth
* Cradash rand...@gmail.com [100901 06:40]:
We have been getting a {errors:[{code:53,message:Basic
authentication is not supported}]} error on our feeds for the last 15
or so hours, our feeds tweet at most 5 times an hour but have become
inactive because of this error. We are using Jtwitter and have not had
an isssue with this untill half-a day ago.
I've been seeing this message for suspended users. See my most recent
post in this thread:

Here's a shortened URL:

An unauthenticated call to users/show for that user may tell you what
the real problem is.

Re: [twitter-dev] Basic Auth Deprecation
we have announced deprecation, and will hard turn off basic authentication in june. the exact date has not been set, but i presume it will be later in the month. Is Basic Auth going to be deprecated (as in hard switched-off) in June, or are you in June going to announce depracation, with the hard switch-off then coming a few months later? -- Raffi Krikorian Twitter Platform Team http://twitter.com/raffi -- To unsubscribe, reply using remove me as the subject.
Re: [twitter-dev] Basic Auth Deprecation
Basic auto being turned off means just that.. Desktop clients can implement xAuth as an alternative, where you do a one-time exchange of login and password for an OAuth access token and continue from there signing your requests and doing things in the OAuth way. You'd no longer, as a best practice and one that I would stress in the upmost even on a desktop client, store the login and password beyond the xAuth access token negotiation step. If the token were revoked you would then query for the login and password again and so on and so on and also and also. Obtaining permission to use xAuth for desktop clients is as easy as sending a well-identified and verbose note to a...@twitter.com. Basic auth had a good run. It's nearly time to say goodnight.

Re: [twitter-dev] Basic Auth seems to be down right now - Last 10 minutes
Looks like basic auth is down. Anyone else seeing lots of login failures? Yes, I'm getting no responses. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Had this been an actual emergency, we would have fled already. -
Re: [twitter-dev] Basic Auth Deprecation in June
Regarding Basic Auth Deprecation is June - would it be possible using OAuth to automate some users posts - for example - there are some applications that can automate a post in the future. Could that still work in future? There is going to be a browserless API, and that might serve such a purpose. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- FORTUNE: You have a magnetic personality.

RE: [twitter-dev] Basic Auth deprecation coming
How are they going to stop basic auth? If a website already have the username/passwords doesn't that mean they can log in on a users behalf until they change the password via the twitter.com website?

I mean, it's handy to develop and understand code with Basic Auth, and then cut it over to oAuth. Any ideas?
Re: [twitter-dev] Basic Auth deprecation coming
They can force oauth authentication for authenticated API calls. If the API stops looking at the HTTP_AUTH_USER to determine who the user is, basic auth has been deprecated...

Re: [twitter-dev] Basic Auth deprecation coming
Yup - there will be both a web based sandbox, and a command line tool that operates in a way similar to curl, but will do oauth for you. Both are there to help developers experiment.

Re: [twitter-dev] Basic Auth : Could not authenticate you strange issue
Are you using other apps or alternate account credentials? i.e. have you checked for a cookie conflict? On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 10:22 AM, jaybenoit jayson.g.ben...@gmail.comwrote: I am experiencing an issue with our app, that uses Basic Auth, where periodically it can not authenticate the user when trying to perform any API calls for fucntions that require authentication. My code has been working for several months and now this seemed to start happening mid to late November. It is really weird because it works half the time and the then can not authenticate the other half. It is not a rate limitation as I have already checked that to make sure. Has anybody else had this issue occur? Is there some other type of limitation that I am not possibly aware of that would send back the Could Not Authenticate you error even when we are sending the correct login and password? Any help would be appreciated.
