 If you're developing a new application, you -must- use OAuth if you
 want the From line to display your application's name.

 It used to work for Basic Auth, but Twitter disabled that.
 Applications that had been working when they disabled it were
 grandfathered in, but apps created after that point must use OAuth
 to have access to this feature.

  I've had this difficulty too, with the 'source' parameter being
  ignored.
  I recommend using OAuth which handles it all fine. I'm weary about
  providing my password to apps these days

 I thought for new applications the only way was via oAuth, and then
 the source is taken automatically because of your access token.
