I keep getting {"request":"/statuses/user_timeline.json?
user_id=TheUserID&count=200","error":"This method requires
authentication."}
when I try to pull a user's tweets. This never used to happen. Earlier
today I did not need to authenticate to do this.

Even when I pass my username and password, I still get this error:
curl -uMyUsername:MyPassword 
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.json?user_id=MyUserID\&count=200
I keep getting {"request":"/statuses/user_timeline.json?
user_id=TheUserID&count=200","error":"This method requires
authentication."}

Did something change in the past few hours???

Thanks,
Ryan
