I've been banging my head on this issue for the past 3-4 days to the
point that my skull has attained a soggy, squishy quality...so any
help would be most appreciated.

I have a Twitter account that I want to post simple periodic updates
to from a website I own.  I can successfully do this:

<cfhttp url="http://twitter.com/account/verify_credentials.xml";
method="get" username="#variables.Tusername#"
password="#variables.Tpassword#">

That works everytime.  However, this does not work:

<cfhttp url="http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml"; method="POST"
username="#variables.Tusername#" password="#variables.Tpassword#"
charset="UTF-8">
                <cfhttpparam type="FORMFIELD" name="user"
value="#variables.Tusername#">
                <cfhttpparam type="FORMFIELD" name="password"
value="#variables.Tpassword#">
                <cfhttpparam type="FORMFIELD" name="status"
value="#variables.Tstatus#">
        </cfhttp>

Not just that but any variation of the post to update.xml fails and
the fail reason is: "Could not authenticate you."  I've tried it in
just about every combination I can think of.  I've scoured Twitter's
API docs, Google and everywhere in between and can't get this to go.
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.  This seems a
really simply thing but it's driving me to distraction.  I don't
believe there's a setting in Twitter itself that is causing the
issue...but perhaps I'm wrong.

Any help/assistance would be most welcome and appreciated.  Thanks in
advance.
