Hi guys, I'm using a desktop platform with a Lua scripting environment. The app I'm making is standalone and does not run in a browser. It can connect to http resources. I'm trying out a simple test to update a status but web services isn't a strong point of mine.
I'm following Basic Auth for now and looking to implement OAuth later. The problem I'm having seems to be waiting for the xml response from https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml I've url encoded my status message and am requesting a https resource similar to "https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml?status="; .. url_encoded_msg I've created post data object setting type to "application/x-www-form- urlencoded" and added the following key/values to the post data Postdata.addValue("X-Twitter-Client", "me") Postdata.addValue("X-Twitter-Client-Version", "1.0" ) Postdata.addValue("X-Twitter-Client-URL", "www.my_url.com") and finally Postdata.addValue( "Authorization", authValue) where authValue is the string "Basic " .. Base64.Encode (username:password) I then send this off to twitter url "https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml?status="; .. url_encoded_msg with the postdata. However my code ends up in a loop waiting for the xml response and eventually timing out. I'd like to know if I've got the right steps and values for PostData. thanks
