error retrieving from URL https://api.twitter.com

Have been using bti for many years with great success. But since a couple of days I'm getting following errors:

echo "test" | bti --action update --debug --verbose

bti - version 034
bti: main: tweet = test
bti: main: config file = /root/.bti
bti: main: host = 0
bti: main: action = 0
bti: send_request: https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json?status=test
bti: send_request: req_url:https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json
bti: send_request: reply:(null)
Error retrieving from URL (https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json?status=test)
operation failed

Any idea what's going on?

No idea, sorry, have not been using bti much at all :(

Hi Greg, if you have time, would you please be so kind to try it out from your side? I believe something has changed recently on the Twitter side that causes this error.

I think this is now fixed / working. Works for me on Fedora 33 with bti 34

[paulrho@localhost btitest]$ bti --config bti-Paulrho.config --verbose --action update --debug
bti: session_readline_init: Using libreadline.so.5 for readline library
