Thanks for the note and the link. Yes you right that's the reason why. Twitter is no longer supporting Basic Authentication. We need to use OAuth. I just read this post: http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/56e916dc8784e20a/ea6392970ae4cceb?lnk=gst&q=oAuth+twitter#ea6392970ae4cceb
And it looks like to send tweet, each user of my application should get a CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET . I wonder where they will get it from ? Should they have to register my application in thier twitter Account to get it ? Thanks, Yannick P.
