I have implemented http://www.example-code.com/vb/http_twitter_oauth.asp and works great. I was trying to modify it to accommodate posting status with an image using https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json as explained in https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/post/statuses/update_with_media

I used req.AddParam "status", "testing" req.AddParam "media[]", "c:img.jpg"

I also changed Set resp = http.PostUrlEncoded("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json", req)

It is not working. I get --sendRequestBody statusCode: 403 statusText: Forbidden

Can you provide input or create an example that successfully uploads statuses with a photo?

Thanks
