Upload with Url

[dafinley]

Is there a way to upload a photo with a url that is not on the local hardrive? For example facebook.com/favicon.ico <-- It is a url that is web accessible.

hey,
tmhOAuth wraps libcurl and uses it to send content to the twitter API -- this means it has the same restrictions/requirements as libcurl. the twitter api also does not support uploading directly from a url, and requires the image you wish to publish be sent as the POST body of the request.

to upload an image from a url you would need to first download the contents of that url to your server, and then send that downloaded content to the twitter api.

closing this out as i think it answers your question. if not, drop a comment afterwards and we can review.
