Re: working Lua API for Twitter

["Stuart P. Bentley" <stuart@...>]

As explained by a previous message outside the thread, Twitter disallowed  
basic auth on August 31st.

There was a guy who wrote an OAuth Twitter library for Lightroom a while  
back, but he was such a jerk (most of his comments were insults directed  
toward Lua) that I've never really felt like looking at his code.

Maybe somebody from this list who actually "gets" Lua can write a standard  
OAuth library (with socket.http). Next time I'm on the machine I have the  
page open on I'll paste the link to the script this guy wrote.
