The logical thing would be to set the referrer to the domain name of your application. If it doesn't have one I'd say use your Twitter user URL (i.e. http://twitter.com/stut).
Most HTTP libs in most languages will set a default user agent, and it's usually pretty easy to override it. I'd suggest appname/0.1 where appname is something that identifies your app and is a valid user agent - Google can help you there. I doubt the version number is important to anyone but you. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/projects/twitter 2009/6/16 funkatron <funkat...@gmail.com>: > > Indeed, some clearer criteria would be most appreciated. > > -- > Ed Finkler > http://funkatron.com > Twitter:@funkatron > AIM: funka7ron > ICQ: 3922133 > XMPP:funkat...@gmail.com > > > On Jun 16, 12:51 pm, Justyn Howard <justyn.how...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Thanks Doug - Any additional info to help us know if we comply?
