Bug #72653 for AnyEvent-Twitter-Stream: tracking of special characters ("umlauts")

Hi, I am using AnyEvent::Twitter::Stream (version 0.22) to track German keywords that contain umlauted characters (äöü). URI-encoding these characters seems to break the request that's being built. Twitter responds "unauthorized". To fix this issue, I have replaced the following line (82) in Stream.pm: # $request_body = join '&', map "$_=" . URI::Escape::uri_escape($post_args{$_}), keys %post_args; $request_body = join '&', map "$_=" . URI::Escape::uri_escape_utf8($post_args{$_}), keys %post_args; In addition, I am getting "Operation timed out" errors when running the stream for extended times - are those due to server problems on Twitter's side? Any advice on what is a good timeout value and whether to keep the connection open or just try to reconnect instead? Thank you and best regards, Tatjana Scheffler. -- Tatjana Scheffler, PhD Researcher DFKI GmbH Projektbuero Berlin Alt-Moabit 91c 10559 Berlin Office: H.04.026 Phone: +49-30-23895-1805 Email: tatjana.scheffler@dfki.de ------------------------------------------------------------ Deutsches Forschungszentrum fuer Kuenstliche Intelligenz GmbH Trippstadter Strasse 122, D-67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany Geschaeftsfuehrung: Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult.
