Re: [twitter-dev] Redirecting to a user's profile
Correct. But it won't show protected profiles because the user is not logged in. I'd like a way to log in the user before taking them to that link so they don't have to go through the hassle of signing in just to see the profile of a person they're already friends with. Some api endpoint I could pass the access token I have for them so that I could redirect them to a profile without logging them in. Is this possible? Sorry I worded that a little weird the first time. Thanks! Abraham Williams wrote: It does not prompt me for authentication when I am not logged in. Neither for public or protected accounts.

The problem is, it will ask them to log in if they aren't already logged in on the browser even though I have an auth token for them.

No it is not possible. They will have to log in themselves. On Sun, Apr 18, 2010 at 16:47, Berto mstbe...@gmail.com wrote: Correct.
