Re: [twitter-dev] Re: basic authentication not supported error

2011-02-11 Thread Taylor Singletary
I haven't done much Flash coding -- I know there are a few approaches to
coding in Flash and that there are OAuth libraries available.

You might want to check out this library:
http://code.google.com/p/oauth-as3/

Also, there's an AIR-based open source project called Spaz that you can look
at, though it may be far from what you're wanting:

  As Paresh mentioned,
 
  Your URL needs to be:
a) pointed to the *api* subdomain
b) versioned -- always *1* at this time
c) specifying a format - usually either *json* or *xml*
  And should use:
a) the screen_name parameter instead of an interpolated URI element to
  avoid issues with all-integer screen names.
  *
  *
  In your case you want to issue a GET to this URL instead:
  *http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=shane.
 ..

   Are you using twitteroauth library?
 
   Also, the url should be like
  http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/sh...82
   Atleast i am using this and it works for me.

 That argument is fine, except for one glaring issue... xAuth.

 I've seen plenty of iPhone clients for instance using xAuth but there
 is no good reason for them to be using xAuth as it's remarkably simple
 to use the oAuth workflow using UIWebView.

For my iPhone push app http://2apn.com I've received many complains
because user did not understand what they had to do (usint
oauth+webview).

I'm going xauth because I want to be able to do the UI I want.

 We are using the Streaming API and will only be using our own

 positive, so like TJ says huge hassle for no gain.


Although I was able to finally adapt to Oauth (thanks for Abraham and
thanks to Scott), I agree that for folks who have web apps that do not
require them to collect other people's logins, or to give their own to
a third party, that it does seem a shame that provisions haven't been
made to let those apps continue as is. Sorta looks like fixing what
aint broke.

I don't access anyone's account information except my own. This is a
huge hassle for no gain at all for me.

Not that I expect that to change.

If you are only working with your own account have a look at:
