I am attempting to use XMLHTTPRequest to get an update on twitter.
var XMLReq = new XMLHttpRequest();
XMLReq.open("GET", "http://twitter.com/account/verify_credentials.json", false, "TestAct", "password");
XMLReq.send(null);
However, using my sniffer I cannot see any authorization headers being passed through. Hence, I get a 401 error response from Twitter.
The account and password are correctly entered.
Anyone attempt this? Can anyone give me some pointers? Thank you.
