That will not work anymore because Twitter is run by idiots who think Oauth is the be all end all of security. It isn't.
It is perhaps a good compromise if you don't want to give your user and password to a foreign website in order to have it do things on your behalf but for local applications it actually *reduces* security by imposing a more complicated method than http basic auth via https (BTW, you should use https with basic auth always, and not http as you have) full weird workflows. I suggest the following: 1) create an account in https://identi.ca/ (a Free Software social network) 2) use your command with the following difference in the url: https://identi.ca/api/statuses/update.json (they have a compatible api).
