Twitter API gives different results for different IPs?

[Sarp Erdag]

Hello,

I looks like the methods users/show and account/verify_credentials
give different results especially for the "profile_image_url" block
when called from different machines. After there is an avatar update
(whether from the twitter web ui or over a 3rd party app that uses the
api (oauth or basic) when these methods are called from different IPs,
I see they are getting different profile_umage_urls. Sometimes the
updated version is shown, sometimes not...

Any recommendations / explanations how to deal with this issue?

Hi.

This is a known issue and is being tracked on the google code tracker
for the API - please feel free to add more information about this
issue there.

Thanks!

Hello, we have built a little test page here:
http://twavatars-dev.appspot.com/test?screen_name=freddyxyz

And I'll head over to the code tracker now to post the URL and a
comment.

If you need ANY other help, just ask and we can produce other test
pages for you to accelerate the process. Just specify what you need
and we can try to whip up a tool. OK?

We're glad to help.

Raffi, can you tell me where this is on your priority list, so that we
can plan our development? The user experience of our app depends on
getting this resolved, so we may have to devise a strategy to improve
the UX in the meantime.

Thanks again for your speedy responses.

hi howard.

its on the list - we have a theory as to what is wrong, but that still
needs to be investigated, tested, etc.

please just continue to add color and data to the thread on the google
code tracker so that we have more information to look at.

I have 3 letters to suggest to you:

Hope to hear good news soon!

We're getting ready to launch an avatar-centric app, and it would be
great to have some idea what the status is of this issue. Thanks.
