[twitter-dev] sending direct messages from API fails randomly

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 09:18:25 -0700 

Hi,
Twitter4J has a following test case and it started to fail approximately 24 hours ago. 
1. there are two users - "twit4j" and "twit4j2"
2. "twit4j" follows "twit4j2"
http://twitter.com/friendships/create/twit4j2.xml
3. "twit4j2" follows "twit4j"
http://twitter.com/friendships/create/twit4j.xml
4. sending a direct message from "twit4j" to "twit4j2" fails with 403 Forbidden("You cannot send messages to users who are not following you."). 
http://twitter.com/direct_messages/new.xml

I'm attaching a debug log.
I couldn't find any open issues in the list.
But is this a known one?
It'll be nice if the API team can integrate my test cases which hits API regressions frequently. 
Running the test cases is as simple as:
------------
$ svn checkout http://yusuke.homeip.net/svn/twitter4j/trunk twitter4j
$ mvn install
------------

Cheers,
