I had similar issues when first working with images. I ended up using
"image/jpg" for the mimetype regardless of the actual type of file
and
that seemed to clear up the issue.

Matt,
I tried changing my script to generate a gif, and my issues with
twitter dissapeared, but my image was no longer rendering properly

I switched the output back to png and added the mimetype to the

Hi Kevin,
I find that error message misleading. If the image could not
be
processed for any reason the error says "possibly too big". That's
normally the case with user uploads but it seems like from the API
it's more often something else. Looking back through the Google
Group
it seems like GIF is predominantly the issue. If you create a
similar
1x1 PNG does it do the same thing? We support GIF and it should
work,
but knowing what works and what doesn't will help narrow it down.
Thanks;

I just tested the update_profile_image API call and sent a 190K

What kind of image are you trying to post? Do you have sample
code you
can share?

I created a 1px by 1px white gif which weighed in at about 43
bytes
and it worked.
My suspicion is that for some reason the API is not correctly
calculating the file size of the image data, or it's checking
for a
much smaller value than 700k.- Hide quoted text -
