Any word on if this is still planned? Any further extensions? Or is the drop-dead deadline still August 16th?
[twitter-dev] basic auth deprecation and GFW
Hi, I'm writing to express a little concern about the upcoming deprecation of basic authentication. I have developed several twitter api apps and I understand the great advantages of using oauth for authentication, but it has one major downfall that makes things complicated here in china. That downfall is that you need to actually go to twitter.com in order to authenticate with the app. Since twitter is blocked in china, that is difficult. Most twitter users in china likely use an api proxy or some third party software and being able to use basic auth makes it possible without a vpn to access the twitter api. In the same breath, I applaud the recent purchase of tweetie. It is the app of choice for people scaling the great firewall on the iphone. It has easy options to add an api proxy and it is widely used. I hope that with the deprecation of oauth, this app that I once paid for will not suddenly become unuseable. I appreciate all of your efforts. thanks, scott
Re: [twitter-dev] Basic Auth Deprecation
Basic auto being turned off means just that.. Desktop clients can implement xAuth as an alternative, where you do a one-time exchange of login and password for an OAuth access token and continue from there signing your requests and doing things in the OAuth way. You'd no longer, as a best practice and one that I would stress in the upmost even on a desktop client, store the login and password beyond the xAuth access token negotiation step. If the token were revoked you would then query for the login and password again and so on and so on and also and also. Obtaining permission to use xAuth for desktop clients is as easy as sending a well-identified and verbose note to a...@twitter.com. Basic auth had a good run. It's nearly time to say goodnight.

Re: [twitter-dev] Basic Auth Deprecation
we have announced deprecation, and will hard turn off basic authentication in june. the exact date has not been set, but i presume it will be later in the month.

[twitter-dev] Basic Auth Deprecation in June
Hello , Regarding Basic Auth Deprecation is June - would it be possible using OAuth to automate some users posts - for example - there are some applications that can automate a post in the future. Could that still work in future? Thanks.
Re: [twitter-dev] Basic Auth deprecation coming
Yup - there will be both a web based sandbox, and a command line tool that operates in a way similar to curl, but will do oauth for you. Both are there to help developers experiment.

Re: [twitter-dev] Basic Auth deprecation coming
They can force oauth authentication for authenticated API calls. If the API stops looking at the HTTP_AUTH_USER to determine who the user is, basic auth has been deprecated...
