I think the best debugging process is to reproduce your problem in curl, then show the curl -v output (passwords elided, naturally). If curl works and your home-rolled client does not, then you can use tcpdump(1) or some other packet sniffer and work out the deltas between the working solution and the non-working solution.
In this case, do you have access to the firehose? Can you use an existing client library? There are dozens of clients for the Streaming API out there. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Twitter, Inc.
