Greg, If you want to access a user_timeline through a browser try sending a request to:
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/[username].json<http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/%5Busername%5D.json> ?since_id=[since_id] where the variables denoted with [*] are replaced accordingly. You will be prompted to input your username and password for basic authentication. You can also try the same call through a command line with cURL: curl -u username:password http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/[username].json?since_id=[since_id] Does that set you on the right path? I believe what is tripping you up is placing the credentials in the URL when they need to be pushed through the headers.
