[Bringing this old stickied thread back up for an announcement...
apologies for semi-broken threading.]

With basic auth on the way out at Twitter, I've wanted a way to make
requests from the command line just as I used to with curl. Rather
than implementing an HTTP client in Ruby/Python/whatever, I decided to
do this as a shell script wrapping curl:

http://github.com/decklin/curlicue

It's really just curl under the hood, so you have access to all your
favorite command-line options. It should work with any OAuth 1.0a
service, not just Twitter. There is of course an initial setup step
that requires your consumer key and secret, but if you save your
credentials in the correct location after that, you can pretty much
just replace "curl" with "curlicue" in commands and forget about it.

Please direct any bugs/issues/questions to Github. Thanks!

(I wrote this a month or so ago, but was holding off on posting here
because I was hoping for the "open source" key exchange process to
move forward. Now that that is officially not going to be ready in
time[1], I figured I might as well get this out there. For now, you
will have to register your own app before you can use it, and make
requests as that app.)
