Hi David, Yes, that's what I am asking but my experience is different. o.O
When I click the links I provided the one I get the json data (download file w/json) while the other I just get a 404 page saying File not found Firefox can't find the file at http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.json?id=twitter2222&callback=bar (I have tried it on different computers, OSs -Linux and Windows- and networks too. I didn't try via curl though, will when I get back home.) When I request the same thing in my app (http://www.visionjinx.net/? pid=miniapps) I just get nothing and my app stays on "loading..." which tells me my callback is never called as it should clear that loading... message. (try the twitter2222 by user name on my app to see) Any thoughts? Cheers!
