Re: [twitter-dev] Tweet button not working with a 'localhost' data-url?

2010-10-06 Thread Matt Harris 
http://localhost is not a shareable URL so this error is expected.
Instead, if you need to test things locally you might want to add a
development domain name into your computers hosts file instead.

Hope that helps,

 Hi, I'm currently testing the tweet button for our website. When I

 'http://localhost:8080/somepath/image.jpg' its says that the 'url'
 param is invalid. But when I test it on a 'real' server (like
 example.com) the button does work.
 The data-url attribures are dynamically generated, which means if the
 file was on 'example.com' instead of 'localhost' the link would be
 'http://example.com/somepath/image.jpg'
 Can anyone confirm that share does not work with 'localhost' as data-
 url?

 Thanks,

 Olivier.

Why would you want to generate a link that would only work for you? Just
accept that it will not work and you'll be fine ;-)
