django-twitter-oauth connection refused

[ashy]

Hi All,

I am using django-twitter-oauth app in my project, but I am getting
the following error while trying to connect to twitter.com.

Exception Value: (111, 'Connection refused')
Exception Location: /usr/lib/python2.6/socket.py in
create_connection, line 514

token = get_unauthorised_request_token(CONSUMER, CONNECTION)
resp = fetch_response(oauth_request, connection)
connection.request(oauth_request.http_method, url)

Also, Iam working behind proxy. How can I use oauth library behind
proxy? Any ideas.

thanks
ashy

There was an email from twitter to it's users, yesterday or the day before,
saying that they've changed their auth API. I think it was a change to
requiring OAUTH, but you may want to check whether port or SSL changes
have occurred.

Hi Bill,

Did you try using django-twitter-oauth http://github.com/henriklied/django-twitter-oauth#readme?
I got the error while using this app.

thanks

No. I'm not actually using twitter anywhere. I just remember the
email saying that the API changed on Tuesday, so I'm not surprised if
things that worked before are broken now.

Hi All,

Now I am getting 'Cannot send request' exception.
Exception Location: /usr/lib/python2.6/httplib.py in putrequest, line
802
Some problem with httplib. Any ideas?

thanks

I apparently have a different vintage of httplib in my 2.6, since the
raise CannotSendRequest()
is on line 778.

It seems to mean reuse of an HTTPConnection object that isn't idle.

Maybe a threading problem? Does this happen with the development server?
pdb is your friend (standard advice).
