Yesterday I noticed a javascript prompt on one Tumblr blog asking for
Twitter username/password
I thought it was some kind of new phishing scam, I even wanted to
report it to Twitter.
Now I just saw the link sent from @twitterapi account and it also does
the same thing - asking for
Hello,
You're accessing an API resource that requires authentication in the URL, thats
why you're being prompted for a username and password. I have no idea about the
tumblr page you've seen but there are plenty of Basic auth applications still
out there.

hi.
yes - this is a legit API - its called the bulk user show API. it, for
now, takes either oauth or basic auth, but as with all our other APIs, in
june we will be removing the basic auth support.
we'll be documenting this today.

HOLY CRAP! Is that an API method that's equivalent to passing an array
of IDs to /users/show?
Is there a reason why it wasn't done right?
/users/show.xml?user_id=12863272user_id=3191321user_id=9160152...
And why does this method *require* authentication when /users/show doesn't?

While it's a standard to use multiple values for the same key in this
way, there are a gigantic amount of OAuth libraries out there that
don't account for it and will botch the request as a result.

So, poor OAuth implementations are forcing a poor technical design
decision in Twitter's product?
Tread carefully ...

It wasn't a factor in this particular design decision, but the reality
is that the vast majority of OAuth libraries out there are not to
spec.
