| Subject: | Basic Auth no longer supported by twitter.com |
In the afternoon of 8/31/2010, Basic Auth stopped working on Twitter's
API. This seems to be in line with the announcement at
http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Authentication
which says "but insecure. OAuth is the Twitter preferred method of
authentication moving forward - come August 2010, we'll be turning off
Basic Auth from the API.".
For Net::Twitter, this means that the SYNOPSIS example is no longer
valid because it will return "401 Unauthorized" and I guess needs to be
updated to use OAuth instead.
Just wanted to let you know, thanks for a great module!
