Thanks.
Now I'm using the post method.
How should I use the track parameter? Something like this?
address = New Uri("http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json?
track=Microsoft")
I'm getting connected but no data that matches Microsoft is streaming
over.No data for that matter.
I'm passing my name and pw in the request.credentials method. The
server returned a 200 OK when I added the credentials but not when it
was in the URL alone.
ie; address = New Uri("http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/
filter.json?track=Microsoft - name:pw"
Thanks,
Peter
