Michael and Menachem,
Sorry I did not check the code in R2007b after the update. Apache commons package is not available in R2007b. To make it work in R2007b you need to do the following.

1. Download the Apache commons codec binaries from http://commons.apache.org/codec/download_codec.cgi.
2. After you extract the binaries add the jar file to the java path using
javaaddpath('<pathtofile>/commons-codec-1.4.jar'). Replace <pathtofile> with the directory where you extracted the files.
3. In twit.m replace the line:114 which currently is
114: outputStream.write(java.lang.String(msgEncodedStrforPost).getBytes());

with the following two lines.

msgEncodedStrforPostString = java.lang.String(msgEncodedStrforPost);
outputStream.write(msgEncodedStrforPostString.getBytes());

After this it should work. Let me know if this helps.

From R2008a the Apache commans libraries are available and the code works without any changes.

Hi Matt, I am working on an update for the authentication method.

Dear Navan Ruthramoorthy
Having troubles with an error message (below). Can you help?

I corrected/added the authentification details in twitter4j.properties but this didn't help.

Error using twit>throwError (line 136)
Authentication details were not correct.
Error in twit (line 120)
throwError(ME.message);

Navan-

It's back! This worked for me at one time.

??? Undefined variable "Base64" or class "Base64.encodeBase64".

Error in ==> twit>doHMAC_SHA1 at 160
signStr = java.lang.String(Base64.encodeBase64(mac.doFinal(bytes)));

Error in ==> twit at 99
oauth_signature = doHMAC_SHA1(signStr, signKey);

Can you help me again.

thanks
