We are again seeing behaviour where update_profile_image is returning
a 200OK but the image is not updated on Twitter. This happened last
week and was fixed under Issue 1745:
http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=1745
But it has just reappeared. Behaviour is very slightly different in
that the previous profile image remains in place rather than becoming
a broken image.
Request and response shown below.
Thanks,
