 Hi,

 I am building an app that will programmatically update my twitter
 status every hour or so. It will update my status from a server
 running without any interaction from me.

 From what I have learned, I should use OAuth rather than basic
 authentication. It seems that basic authentication is to shut down
 June 2010 (which seems rather soon).



I share your concern!

I use Classic ASP (Yes, there are many of us still using it it because
we like it!) and I have a classified ads on my site that automatically
sends a tweet out to announce whenever a new ad has been posted. For
my needs, Oauth seems to be convoluted and bloated. I've spotted lots
of Classic ASP users searching for an Oauth solution for their code.
I'm trying to understand it to figure out how to adapt my app to it,
but I may have to give up the automatic tweets. :(

we're literally working on 2-legged oauth for our public methods as i type
this.

Re: [twitter-dev] Is there support for the OAuth 2-legged model?

2010-03-23 Thread Taylor Singletary
Hi all,

We don't yet support two-legged OAuth but see value in its use for actions
requiring client application authorization but not necessarily user-based
authentication. As Raffi notes, we're implementing it now.

However, two-legged OAuth does not necessarily solve the issue you're
looking to solve, actions requiring an actor like tweeting, favoriting, etc.
would still require an OAuth access token. In the case of a single purpose
application with a single user, you would leverage OAuth to exchange your
own credentials for an access token which you could then re-use indefinitely
for the single-user use case of your application.
