The Since parameter for xml

[whaz...@gmail.com]

I've been looking through the documentation, and even though I've
found a few posts about the since paramter, I've not found out if it
is spoused to be working currently.

Should this work?

Just curious. I'm trying to write my client so it does not need to get
the full 20 posts every time i request the xml. :)

Yes, we support the "since" parameter and If-Modified-Since headers
for the friends_timeline method.

It seemed like it worked once, but I don't know what I did. Here is
what I am entereing

http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline/whazlewo.xml?since=Tue%2C+29+Feb+2008+23%3A40%3A20+GMT

I just took the timestamp and encoded it, but no mater what i put i
get all 20 back each time.

Can you give me an example of a working URL string?

It seemed like this worked once for me, but since then I cant seem to
make it work at all.

Here is what I'm testing

http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline/whazlewo.xml?since=Tue%2C+29+Feb+2008+23%3A40%3A20+GMT

No mater what I put for the time stamp it gives me all 20 responses
back. Can you give me an example of a working URL string for this?

TIA

Ok, I figured it out. Ofcourse it was a PEBKAC problem :-)

I didn't realize that you had to use the login style request.
when i do

http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.xml?since=<urlencoded
http date>

it works !

I tried to add my username and password to the url, but my XML parser
did not like that url, so i just switched to using curl to grab the
file and then pass that file to the XML parser. Working good now.

Just out of curiosity, is there any reason you guys chose not to
implement this to work?
