[twitter-dev] [408s] Random 408 errors having been appearing the last 48 hours

2009-09-06 Thread bosher

Random 408 errors are being returned when users are attempting to
Sign in with Twitter on my site TweetMeNews.com.

Has anyone else been seeing this? Twitter, is there any way you can
expand on the error message instead of just saying 408? That would
help us better Understand  Report what's breaking...

Thanks,

Brett

I wanted to give an update here. The issue has been resolved and was
due to my account going the over limit. i.e. I messed up...

Thanks for the speedy support Twitter/Chad

At the first request the API sends a 408, if I then refresh or try the
API call again it works fine. Why would this be happening?

   The first step our operations team must take will likely cause API

   especially affecting OAuth. We apologize for the inconvenience and we will
   work quickly to reduce the impact to the API. We appreciate your patience
   and I will update you as soon as we know more.

  Do you guys have any news on the Oauth outage?

  We can still not authenticate our users (tweetfunnel.com).

  HTTP Basic Auth still works I believe, as do any pre-problem OAuth

Not sure if this will help or not, regarding oAuth Sign in With
Twitter

Works - Sign in With Twitter works if the user isn't logged into
Twitter and has to enter their LP on Twitter
Doesn't Work - If the user is already signed into Twitter, clicks
Allow, it just hangs...

[twitter-dev] Twitter4J getAuthorizationURL versus Authentication?

2009-08-03 Thread bosher

The Twitter4J code I've gotten to work forces the user to click
“Allow” on the Twitter authorization page (An application would like
to connect to your account), every time the code is run. Any ideas on
how the flow can be changed so that anytime a user goes through the
Authentication Process, if the user has already authorized the APP the
user is not required to visit Twitter again and click “Allow” every
time but is simply sent back to my web app?

My Code:
cfset Twitter = createObject(java, twitter4j.Twitter)
cfset Twitter.setOAuthConsumer('XXX','XX')
cfparam name=URL.oauth_token type=string default=

cfif URL.oauth_token EQ STEP1

   cfset RequestToken = Twitter.getOAuthRequestToken()
   cfset Session.oAuthRequestToken = RequestToken.getToken()
   cfset Session.oAuthRequestTokenSecret =
RequestToken.getTokenSecret()

   cflocation url=#RequestToken.getAuthorizationURL()#
addtoken=No

   !--- At this point, the user is on TwitterÕs site and have the
opportunity to Allow or Deny access. ---
   !--- Twitter will now send back to HERE when the USER
autorhizes you ---

cfelseSTEP2BR
   !--- After Allowing access, the user is transferred back to
your site and you exchange the Request Tokens for Access Tokens: ---

   cfset AccessToken = Twitter.getOAuthAccessToken
(Session.oAuthRequestToken,Session.oAuthRequestTokenSecret)
   !--- Store the Access Tokens, via: AccessToken.getToken() and
AccessToken.getTokenSecret() ---

   cfoutput
   AccessToken:#AccessToken#
   AccessToken.getToken(): #AccessToken.getToken()#br
   Session.oAuthRequestTokenSecret:
#Session.oAuthRequestTokenSecret#
   /cfoutput

   !--- Test Twitter API access ---
   !---   cfset Twitter.setOAuthAccessToken
(StoredAccessToken,StoredAccessSecret) ---
   cfset Twitter.setOAuthAccessToken
(#AccessToken.getToken()#,#AccessToken.getTokenSecret()#)
   cfset Twitter.updateStatus(Testing 1.2.3.4..)
