update_profile_background_image API call. Again

[Voituk Vadim]

Hi I`m getting strange errors on using update_profile_background_image
API call (see curl dump below)

The uploaded image size is 10Kb.
Also i`ve tried to use
mqpro_glowdotsGray.br.jpg;type=image/jpeg
and
mqpro_glowdotsGray.br.jpg;type=image/jpg
notations and go the same result.

Using the same code for update_profile_image call works perfectly.

What i`m doing wrong? Or is there any active issues related to this
API?

curl -v -F 'image=@/path/to/image/twallpapers/backgrounds/thumbs/
mqpro_glowdotsGray.br.jpg' --header 'Expect:' -u mylogin:mypassword

Is the created_at return value of http://twitter.com/statuses/friends.format
the date that person's Twitter account was created, or the date that
friendship began?

My guess is it is when the twitter account was created. If that is so, then
is there a way to determine the date someone started following a person, or
being followed by a person?

That value is the date that the account was created as you determined. There is no way to determine programmatically when the account was followed. That is not something we expose in the API.

Thanks,
Doug
