are you sure your encode method is correctly base64-encoding the
credentials?

Hello Adam, actually i am using basic authentication sending login and
password as a header request:

String url = "http://twitter.com/statuses/
friends_timeline.xml";
String credentials = "username:password";
credentials = encode(credentials); // this method 
encode
the login and password as base64
HttpConnection con = (HttpConnection)Connector.open
(url);
con.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " +
credentials);
con.setRequestMethod("GET");
con = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url);
InputStream is1 = con.openInputStream();
showReply(con, is1); // This method displays in the
screen the reply from twitter that i have showed before.
is1.close();

This source code is j2me, i have implemented a similar code in java
and it works fine, no authentication problem but when i use the code
above, there is always the authentication problem message. Any idea?
