[twitter-dev] Re: update_profile_image not updating user's profile_image_url
Thanks, I have sent you a Charles bebug output. Interesting to see is that with a request I first get a 401 unauthorised error. Strictly speaking, per the HTTP spec, clients should not reply with authentication information to a resource that has not first requested it. The 401 is to make that possible. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Never eat more than you can lift. -- Miss Piggy

What Cameron said. The first 401 is our servers saying, you need to identify yourself. Once that happens, the request seems to go through.

I have same problem, any news yet? On 2 apr, 19:38, Alex Payne a...@twitter.com wrote: It is most likely a Twitter bug. We've been oscillating between two image uploading libraries, trying to deal with issues in each.

Here's the problem - when I call the API function update_profile_image, the upload succeeds, and Twitter returns status code 200. If I go to my actual profile image page (http://twitter.com/ account/profile_image/pianoben), the updated image (let's say O_RLY.jpg) is present. However, the rest of my profile still retains links to the scaled-down version of the former profile image, i.e. instead of http://amazonWS/o_rly_normal.jpg, everywhere a profile image is needed still links to http://amazonWS/ old_picture_normal.jpg. The latter is the URL returned as profile_image_url when calling /users/show/pianoben.xml. I'm pretty sure I've got my library code down pat, as the image itself verifiably uploads - it looks like Twitter is barfing on updating my user info after the API call completes. It is worth noting that none of this happens if I upload an image via the web interface. Has anyone else encountered this? What did you do to solve this? Or is this a Twitter bug?

I am facing the same problem and have reported it earlier. The behavior of updating your profile image via web browser and via API differs considerably. I have noticed that it takes almost an hour for your newly uploaded image to appear as your avatar in your tweets page. In my case I don't see the earlier image either. My full name is displayed at the place of my avatar. Raghu
