Hi Onn,

Our documentation at
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/post/favorites/create/:idmay have been
unclear in the past (it may even still be unclear).

You don't need to pass the id element directly as a parameter -- it's a
"globbed" parameter from the resource URL itself -- can you try your request
after removing the id= 19408545095 element?

Thanks,
Taylor
