[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter status update through a Ajax Post

I replaced the first post here ::

Hello Friends;

In December I wrote a little function to allow users to update our
Twitter status by  completing a form embedded in our CMS. This has
worked fine untill last week.


The script simply sends a ajax post to "http://twitter.com/statuses/
update.xml"


Unfortunately it returns the following error:
  Permission denied - line 13


Which is the line stating :
  axobj.open("POST",purl,false,"my username","my password");


*The "my username" and "my password" is replaced with the correct
login details at runtime.


Here is the complete test code:


<%...@language="JAVASCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>




function asp_twitter_update(strMsg)
{


var axobj,purl;


purl = "http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml";;


axobj = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
axobj.open("POST",purl,false,"my username","my password");
axobj.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-
form-
urlencoded");
//axobj.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");


axobj.send("status="+Server.URLEncode(strMsg));



}


asp_twitter_update("This is the new status message to be
posted");

Thank you very much for your reply Raffi.

> is this hosted somewhere so we can hit it with a browser

Yes certainly, it is on http://www.dinkumsite.com/twitter_feed.asp

I have created a Twitter test account and inserted the correct
username and password in the code.

To discount the possibility that it might be some weird server
setting, I have also published this test page to 2 seperate servers. I
got the same error on both
