Hi
I am happily able to connect to the twitter REST api and get my
friends timeline loaded with no problem so I know that I am getting
the relevant authorization sent with no problems. I have tried other
API calls and all with no problem except when I try to update my
status.
Here is a sample of the code operating on <mx:HTTPService
id="tweetiepie" />
private function sendTweet(e:MouseEvent): void {
var encoder : Base64Encoder = new
Base64Encoder();
var theMessage : Text = new Text();
theMessage.text = escape("Spring has definitely
sprung");
encoder.encode("xxxxxx:xxxxxx"); // this is
the uid and
password hardcoded for the sake of my tests
tweetiepie.headers["Authorization"] = "Basic "
+ encoder.toString
();
tweetiepie.method="POST";
tweetiepie.url="http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml?status="; +
theMessage.text;
tweetiepie.send();
}
This fails with a message of
[RPC Fault faultString="HTTP request error"
faultCode="Server.Error.Request" faultDetail="Error: [IOErrorEvent
type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error
#2032: Stream Error. URL:
http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml?status=Spring%20has%20definitely%20sprung";
errorID=2032]. URL:
http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml?status=Spring%20has%20definitely%20sprung";]
