Hello all
I've been using twitter functionality in my sites for a while now and
wanted to expand to uploading images to the users Background. After
following the oauth Spec for twitter background I was able to
successfully upload an image. Unfortuneatly, this does not always
work. Lately, more and more calls up to twitter are returning false
positives. Meaning that I make the request, and according to twitter
it executes successfully, however my BG Image does not change.
My response is as follows:
{"verified":false,"followers_count":
8,"url":null,"description":null,"profile_text_color":"0C3E53","status":
{"in_reply_to_screen_name":null,"favorited":false,"in_reply_to_status_id":null,"truncated":false,"created_at":"Wed

So the problem is that According to twitter, everything went
perfectly, however according to my actual twitter profile, nothing
worked as it should have. Also, if you look at my
'profile_background_image_url' this shows my OLD background image, not
my new one.
I use exactly the same code to update my profile picture and it works
every time. The BG image size is within the size requirement and
dimensions.
Any help would be awesome. Thank you in advanced
