Oops, sorry for the lack of detail. Here is the body of the
postTwitter method (as i said, I'm able to post to other twitter URLs
within the API with this same piece of code):
def postTwitter(url, hashParams)
url = URI.parse(url)
req = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url.path)
req.basic_auth($username, $password)
req.set_form_data(hashParams, ';')
res = Net::HTTP.new($twitter, $twitPort).start {|http| http.request
(req) }
puts res
case res
when Net::HTTPSuccess, Net::HTTPRedirection
return 'true'
else
return 'false'
end
end
