Posting to Twitter (wodHttpDLX)

by dirk, Thursday, October 13, 2011, 15:23 (4790 days ago)

Is it possible to use the wodHTTPdlx component (in VB6) to post a tweet to Twitter?
And do you have an example on how to do this?

Dirk,

If HTTP protocol is used, then yes. It's possible. However, form what you can see immediately upon opening twitter.com it uses JavaScript for logging etc.

wodHttpDLX doesn't process or understand JavaScript. With that in mind, there could be certain parameters generated by Javascript (such as variables and/or cookies etc) that wouldn't be generated when wodHttpDLX is used. With that in mind, you would need to manually parse it and provide wodHttpDLX with necessary details.

However, looking at resources available, there's a whole API for developers documentation available at Twitter developers which I would suggest you check out.

We don't have a sample of this process, since it's not really a *sample*, but would rather have to be an extensive application.

Regards,
Damba

Your component works really great. With minor effort I have been able to convert my delphi application...

May I say how nice it is to work with components so complete and self-explanatory that using them in my application is as instinctive as though I wrote them myself?
