My bad, it was a locale problem on my own computer… There is nothing wrong with twidge :)

I have a locale problem as well, system is running utf8, but tweeted scandinavian characters (æøåÆØÅ) are faulty.

interesting… the problem only appears when updating with one-liner: twidge update ‘cyrillic message’…but not when twetting interactively:
twidge update
…and then typing the tweet =/

Not true. Twidge has supported OAuth since version 1.0.1, which was released back in June already. The current version is 1.0.5 and there are instructions on the FAQ page on the wiki of how to switch.

Twidge is no longer supporting twitter, is it because of the changed authorization method in twitter API? Could you please give support for OAuth in twidg ?

This is a great tool! I just wanted to post to Twitter without leaving the command line while working. This suits my needs perfectly! Thank you.

Actually, I’m looking forward to create a ruby twitter client, strongly based on twidge. But it will have fewer funcionality :(

Weird. I haven’t seen that.

Anyhow, there are a few things you could do.

You could edit your ~/.twidgerc and make Twidge use non-SSL communication with Twitter. Just set urlbase = http://twitter.com.

Or, you could add the line insecure to ~/.curlrc, though that will impact more than just Twidge.

I’ll add a curlrc option to the Twidge config file so you can set your own options for Twidge only.

It doesn’t work for me because curl complains about the server certificate. It looks like Twitter’s SSL certificate is invalid… is there any way to pass the -k flag through to curl?

Yes! Thanks. Now twidge display cyrillic post as it should.

I’ve posted 0.99.2 that I think will fix your problem.

No problem with that.

Btw, I think that idea of command-line twitter API is really great.

Hi Roman,

I’ll be contacting you by email to get some more information to help debug this.

This project is somewhat similar to Python-twitter, but has some different goals. It’s designed to be a “command line API” to work well with shell scripts and programmers using any language. It’s also designed around config files and ability to switch to different APIs.

On the other hand, it is not really designed to provide a language-specific API, Python or Haskell.

So a different tool to scratch a different itch.

I’m running ubuntu with utf-8 locale.

I try twidge and get strange output for cyrillic posts.

I’ve been using python-twitter [0][1] to post on twitter from the command line, so far it works fine (though i’ve seen some bug reports on the mailing list)
Also comes with a small script to post to twitter and one to read the twits of the people on your following-list.

BTW, i’ve been waiting for something similar but for identi.ca, now i can finally leave twitter and their greatest uptime ;)
