Hi Matt, Thanks for looking into this. Here is our serialized object data from a set of requests that exhibit the described behavior (http codes and urls are early in each chunk). In this instance I was using the user_timeline, but the same thing is happening on the home_timeline too. Here I am deleting a retweet, the same behavior occurs when deleting an originally authored tweet.
Thanks, Jeff Initial user_timeline request: Fri, 27 Aug 2010 10:57:17 EDT - REST request - O:12:"TwitterOAuth":14: {s:9:"http_code";i:200;s:3:"url";s:341:"https://api.twitter.com/1/ statuses/user_timeline.atom?
