It was set to read & write, as previously stated, but since you don't believe me, here's a screenshot: https://img.skitch.com/20110105-e7439ygif6i6yiiwuir244itnp.jpg I did as you suggested, toggling the app to read only, (and then saved & saw it listed as read only), and then changed it back to read&write, as shown here: https://img.skitch.com/20110105-urh375rhp1bfmgu463pbtwc3b.jpg Then re-authorized (which I'll now have to do on 4 different computers since the keys changed): # twurl authorize --consumer-key 6meHNyaircETFgqObTAkQ --consumer-secret qqKvuCRyNBGrYMPQIUyhZiOU8sLdlKS9Mo7Edx70Uk and then pasted the PIN from my web browser. It said it authorized. I tried my script again: # twit.sh --block @dwikirowi failed, as did # twurl -d "screen_name=dwikirowi" "/1/blocks/create.xml" <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <hash> <request>/1/blocks/create.xml</request> <error>Read-only application cannot POST</error> </hash> Actually, now that I think about it… isn't that suggesting that *twurl* is Read-Only, not my app? I don't know. All I know is that we never had these problems with curl and I've wasted far too long on this when I could have been actually improving my program :-/ Would xAuth make this any easier?
