Hi,

I have a problem with OAuth and Twitter right now.
My application is a small Twitter client and was working fine about 6
hours ago but after that
I couldn't connect to Twitter anymore. I checked Twitter and their
OAuth and all the APIs are
working perfect. It seems like GAE's urlfetch is not working to
Twitter.

I heard my friends also have a problem with connecting Twitter with
OAuth on GAE.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks,
Keiya Kanno

I'm facing the same problem. Not able to obtain the redirect URL from
twitter, though it was working fine until now. It is still working in
my development environment but not working on the live app engine
deployment, Please help ASAP!

I'm also seeing problems between appengine and twitter. I'm just
trying to post status updates using basic authentication. Code
has woked fine for some time and works fine when run locally but
fails from appengine. I get the following stack trace from twitter4j

Caused by: java.io.IOException: Could not fetch URL:
https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json

com.google.appengine.api.urlfetch.URLFetchServiceImpl.convertApplicationException(URLFetchServiceImpl.java:

Unrelated to the issue being discussed, but are you already aware that
basic auth is going away in a few weeks?

Hi.
I have the same problem on the production environment.

urlfetch throws "DownloadError: ApplicationError: 2" or
"DownloadError: ApplicationError: 5".

Thanks,
michisu

I got this problem too.

Not only oauth, posting tweets also fails at a highly rate.

It seems to continuously happen since 22:45 GMT.

Same problem here. A Java-based GAE that has been working fine for
months suddenly stopped working either late last night or early this
morning. Twitter API requests are causing Java IOExceptions (they
work once in a while but fail like 90% of the time). The same
requests work fine when fetched from a local instance of my app, so it
appears to be a partial outage of GAE's url request service.

I have the same problem on GAE/J.
My application is working surely on the local environment,
but it is not working on the product environment.

The twitter and Appengine team is working on the issue. It should
hopefully be fixed soon. Keep your fingers crossed and hopes high!

Twitter is posting an update shortly. It's a result of users violating Twitter's terms of service, resulting in portions of traffic from GAE being blocked.

Note that this is fixed in the short term, but we're going to have to devise a longer term solution because there is a chance this can happen again in the future.
