can anyone tell me why connecting to twitter using curl works and with twitter-stream it doesnt (i am using the example code from the gem website on github: https://github.com/voloko/twitter-stream/blob/master/examples/reader.rb
using curl: echo ‘track=software,ruby,rails,grails,torquebox,spring,tomcat,jboss’ > track.in curl -d @track.in https://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json -uUSERNAME:PASSWORD
everything works:
however when using twitter-stream; i get rejected (something with ssl; however, i dont know why the curl client works)
require ‘rubygems’
require ‘twitter/json_stream’
username=‘user’
password=‘password’
username=ARGV[0] if ARGV[0]
password=ARGV[1] if ARGV[1] auth=“#{username}:#{password}”
puts “running twitter with auth => #{auth}”
EventMachine::run {
stream = Twitter::JSONStream.connect( :path => ‘/1/statuses/filter.json’,
:auth => auth,
:method => 'POST',
#:ssl => true,
:content => 'track=software,ruby,rails,grails,torquebox,spring,tomcat,jboss'
)
stream.each_item do |item| $stdout.print “item: #{item}\n”
$stdout.flush
end
stream.on_error do |message| $stdout.print “error: #{message}\n”
$stdout.flush
end
stream.on_reconnect do |timeout, retries| $stdout.print “reconnecting in: #{timeout} seconds\n”
$stdout.flush
end
stream.on_max_reconnects do |timeout, retries| $stdout.print “Failed after #{retries} failed reconnects\n”
$stdout.flush
end
trap(‘TERM’) { stream.stop EventMachine.stop if EventMachine.reactor_running?
} } puts “The event loop has ended”
