[twitter-dev] OAuth Authentication & Authorization interchangeability?
Hi, Our site offers cross-site logins using Twitter's authentication oauth url, and also has post-to-twitter functionality using the authorization url. To what extent are the tokens obtained from either of these interchangeable? It seems like I can use an authentication token to post tweets, for example. Is this guaranteed to stay like this, or must I get both authentication & authorization if I want to log a user in from their twitter account, and also post stuff to their twitter account? -Jonathan -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk?hl=en
[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth page showing "opening and ending tag mismatch"
Good news: the user who originally said he was seeing the error under an english locale actually wasn't, and the error goes away when he sets his phone to English. Bad news: he's still seeing the error. I haven't been able to actually get the error text or a screenshot out of him yet, will carry on trying...

[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth page showing "opening and ending tag mismatch"
I'd assume the language depends on the http Accept-Language header, but just changing that doesn't seem sufficient to trigger the bug.

[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth page showing "opening and ending tag mismatch"
Hi - thanks for the response. Both the users who have come to us with this problem are non-english speakers - one was definitely viewing it in French, the other claimed to be using English but I kinda suspect a communication problem there... I've not been able to reproduce it, even when setting my phone to different locales - do you have a guaranteed way of reproducing it yet? Any idea what percentage of users see the problem? I've been wondering about sticking a ?lang=en parameter in there till it gets fixed. -Jonathan On Jul 26, 6:49 pm, Matt Harris wrote: > Hi Jonathan, > > Our mobile team is aware of this issue and is looking into it.

Any further progress on this? Is there anything I can get my users to try, to try & diagnose the problem some more? -Jonathan On Jul 22, 3:10 pm, Taylor Singletary wrote: > Hi Jonathan, > > One conjecture I can think of based on the screenshot is that this may > be due to the broken image upload issues we were having recently -- > but the further reports on the original link you provided suggest > otherwise. > > Looking into this. > > Taylor > > On Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 3:11 AM, Jonathan del Strother > > > > wrote: > > No takers? > > > On Jul 15, 1:10 pm, Jonathan del Strother > > wrote: > >> Hi, > >> We use Twitter Oauth for third party signin.

[twitter-dev] OAuth page showing "opening and ending tag mismatch"
Hi, We use Twitter Oauth for third party signin. I haven't been able to reproduce this myself, but one of our users is seeing an error page showing "this page contains the following errors: error on line 397 column 156: opening and ending tag mismatch: div line 0 and strong". Someone at Boxcar seems to be having similar problems - http://help.boxcar.io/discussions/problems/455-i-cant-sign-in-in-twitter Anyone else run into this? Any suggestions on fixing it? -Jonathan
