How to POST an image to Twitter by gideros UrlLoader api

louis

twitter api have a post a tweet with media,
the api document url is : https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/post/statuses/update_with_media
""
Your POST request's Content-Type should be set to multipart/form-data with the media[] parameter
""

but gideros api
is

UrlLoad.new("https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/post/statuses/update_with_media",UrlLoader.POST,bodydata)

Hi @louis,

Currently, it's not possible to specify headers (e.g. Content-Type) with UrlLoader. I'm adding it http://bugs.giderosmobile.com/issues/95 It'll be available with the next version.

@Atilim, that will be cool, if you have a table for data instead of the string, then you can allocate for headers, and body and any other stuff that one would want to add to it.

@OZApps Yes, the header information is given as a table and body is still string. But I haven't combine these two into a table (to be backward compatible).

local url = "<a href="http://www.example.com/parse.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/parse.php</a> " local header = {} header["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" local body = "key1=value1&key2=value2" UrlLoader.new(url, UrlLoader.POST, header, body)

And if you don't want to specify any headers, you can omit it:

UrlLoader.new(url, UrlLoader.POST, body)

I think it's still simple. I hope I don't need to add an extra parameter in the future.

this will be in the new release (due sometime soon) right? That will be wonderful..
