Hi Stan,
As far as I know, all registered OAuth applications show "via
Application" - no exceptions. If you get "via API", then make sure that
you are not also sending basic credentials. Your application may be
caching credentials, which could be the issue.
Also, I don't think that you should send the X-Twitter headers. As far
as I know, Twitter prefers having these in your user agent.
