The 415 error comes from the LL servers when they get the reply back from the remote server (Twitter). The LL server does not know how to handle the more exotic formats such as xml and json its reponse to us is the 415 error. We can assume therefore that the 415 error means Twitter replied, we will just never know what the reply was.

But does the tweet show up on your twitter page?

Correction:
HTTP_MIMETYPE “application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8?
UPDATES but twitter still spits back
“Unsupported or unknown Content-Type.”

Maybe you happen to have some special characters such as “_” or “-” in your username? Maybe that caused the error?

Thank you Keiki. If the identical script worked for you, I figured it had to be something about my Twitter account. I made a new account and it works! I compared the settings of the two accounts and they’re identical, so who knows what is wrong with the old one. Anyway, now I can Twitter away happily

I tried your script. I got an error message. But it did post to my twitter.

Object: status:415 meta:0 body:Unsupported or unknown Content-Type.

IM me if you want me to give you a working script.

It’s the HTTP response. Here’s my exact script (except for my username and password):

string USER = “mytwittername”;
string PASSWORD = “mytwitterpassword”;
default {
touch_start(integer total_number) {
string msg = “this is a test from SL”;
llHTTPRequest(“http://”+llEscapeURL(USER)+”:”+llEscapeURL(PASSWORD)+”@twitter.com/statuses/update.xml”, [HTTP_METHOD, "POST", HTTP_MIMETYPE, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8"], “status=”+llEscapeURL(msg));
}
http_response(key request_id, integer status, list meta, string body) {
llOwnerSay(“status:” + (string)status + ” meta:” + (string)llGetListLength(meta) + ” body:” + body);
}
}

When I touch it, I see this in chat:

twit: status:401 meta:0 body:Unsupported or unknown Content-Type.

Yep, I’ve definitely got that script working. Could you be more specific about the error you are getting? Is it when you compile the script? Or is it some feedback you are getting in the http_response event?

Hi Keiki, did you run that LSL? It didn’t work for me. I get a 401 Unsupported or unknown Content-Type and after half an hour the message still isn’t in Twitter. Perhaps something has changed since the code was published.

I’d use it if you added it to the Huddles. I use Ordinal Malaprop’s Twitterbox http://ordinalmalaprop.com/twitter/ but I’d rather carry one fewer thing. Ordinal’s works through a PHP script on her server, not directly to Twitter.

I use it mostly to tweet prices and locations of things I find in stores, so I don’t forget about them. Ordinal’s script expands SLPOS and SLURL into the current location, which is very useful.
