[twitter-dev] authenticating

[ytbryan]

Hello everyone......

I am using commons httpclient to authenticate twitter through REST.

however, i haven't successfully authenticate using the below code: can
someone advise me what to fill in under AuthScope?  and is my
GetMethod parameter correct?


                HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
                client.getState().setCredentials(
                    new AuthScope("www.twitter.com", 443, "null"),
                    new UsernamePasswordCredentials("userid", "password")
                );
                GetMethod get = new GetMethod("https://www.twitter.com";);
                get.setDoAuthentication( true );

                try {
                    int status = client.executeMethod( get );
                    System.out.println(status + "\n" +
get.getResponseBodyAsString());

                } catch (HttpException e1) {
                                        e1.printStackTrace();
                                } catch (IOException e1) {
                                        e1.printStackTrace();
                                } finally {
                    get.releaseConnection();
                }


thanks and regards
