Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter status update through a Ajax Post
hi!
i see nothing obviously wrong with this - is this hosted somewhere so we can
hit it with a browser and see what's being generated by the browser request?

[twitter-dev] Twitter status update through a Ajax Post
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,"UPTuks","brandewyn");
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");
Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter status update with Basic Auth Lua
Correct on the headers... Also note that if you're making a post, you
don't want "status=..." in the query string, you want it added to the
body of the request. Are you using a specific Lua HTTP library?

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter status update with Basic Auth Lua
Your basic auth value should be in a header not the post body. The
other X- values I think also go
into headers, but I don't provide those really so not sure. I'm not
even sure if twitter pays attention to those.

[twitter-dev] Twitter status update with Basic Auth Lua
Hi guys,
I'm using a desktop platform with a Lua scripting environment. The app
I'm making is standalone and does not run in a browser. It can connect
to http resources.
I'm trying out a simple test to update a status but web services isn't
a strong point of mine.
I'm following Basic Auth for now and looking to implement OAuth later.
The problem I'm having seems to be waiting for the xml response from
https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
I've url encoded my status message and am requesting a https resource
similar to
"https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml?status="; .. url_encoded_msg
I've created post data object setting type to "application/x-www-form-
urlencoded" and added the following key/values to the post data
Postdata.addValue("X-Twitter-Client", "me")
Postdata.addValue("X-Twitter-Client-Version", "1.0" )
Postdata.addValue("X-Twitter-Client-URL", "www.my_url.com")
and finally
Postdata.addValue( "Authorization", authValue)
where authValue is the string "Basic " .. Base64.Encode
(username:password)
I then send this off to twitter url
"https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml?status="; .. url_encoded_msg
with the postdata.
However my code ends up in a loop waiting for the xml response and
eventually timing out. I'd like to know if I've got the right steps
and values for PostData.
thanks
