Re: [twitter-dev] Re: oAuth still working for everyone.?
Hey Taylor, Thanks for rolling this back. It seems odd that you'd push this out without notice when you know it will break apps. Or was there notice somewhere? Can you deploy your new code to a test endpoint so people (myself included) can test that their new code complies with your new requirements? Cheers, Tim.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: oAuth still working for everyone.?
Hi Folks, We're going to rollback a subset of these changes for now. Before we give this another try, we'll let everyone know the specific pain points and give some time to adjust to them. In the meantime, those who experienced trouble today will want to verify that their libraries are doing the right thing in regard to the bullet points I posted above. Also useful is making sure that you don't send additional headers related to basic auth in an OAuth request, that you're using the proper, versioned api-subdomain end points, etc. Dave: It's pretty crucial that you send an oauth_verifier on the access token step. It's not valid OAuth 1.0a without it. Sorry about the mess folks. We should never have let these bugs persist for so long.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: oAuth still working for everyone.?
Waiting doesn't help solve the issue. The spec hasn't changed, the API is just a bit more watching for the mistakes which some developers tend to make. I'd recommend diving into the code and fixing the errors, instead of asking the Twitter API team to accept your "broken" OAuth implementations. :-) Tom On 12/2/10 11:42 PM, LeeS - @semel wrote: I am using this library on all my sites: https://github.com/jmathai/twitter-async, all of which are now broken and fail to let anyone log in.

We've corrected a number of long-standing OAuth-related bug fixes -- mainly in areas where we more liberal than we should have been when verifying signatures.
