my post)
Same problem here. Getting http status 417 when trying to update a
status - with a script that worked fine for the last weeks (about 5-10
posts a day).
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH,CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD,"user:password");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$post=array("status"=>$t);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$post);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE,true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION,
CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
$result=trim(curl_exec($ch));
$info=curl_getinfo($ch);
$statuscode=curl_getinfo($ch,CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($ch);
