A late follow-up on this, but I'm hitting the same problem: - It's only happening with friends/ids.json, all other calls work - Bizarrely I can call it fine from command-line curl on the same machine, but using curl within PHP I get the error - I've tried rejigging my curl/php code to use the in-url syntax (eg someone:passw...@twitter... as the URL) rather than curl_setopt, with no luck
The documentation seems to indicate this method doesn't even require authentication, so I'm left scratching my head. If I can create a minimal reproducible case, I'll file an issue, but for now I just want to document this for posterity.
