Curl query

[PsychedelicReaction]

I'm creating a small script to take a picture from my webcam and publish it directly to twitter through twitpic.

twitpic's api for upload pictures is:

Fields to post in
(post data should be formatted as multipart/form-data):
- media (required) - Binary image data
- username (required) - Twitter username
- password (required) - Twitter password
- message (optional) - Message to post to twitter. The URL of the image is automatically added.

since i'm a noob, i don't know how to sendthe binary data in the curl command. someone could help me? thanx!

--data-binary <data> HTTP POST binary data (H)To send an image's binary data, try

--data-binary "@image.png"Which should send the binary data of image.png

this is what i send from command line

curl -d "username=mikkysixx" -d "password=******" -d "message=messaggio" --data-binary "@AVATARGH.jpg" http://twitpic.com/api/uploadAndPost

and that's what i get


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rsp stat="fail">
<err code="1002" msg="Image not found" />
</rsp>

I found this bit of code here (http://phreadz.com/experiments/twitpic/twitpic.phps).


curl -F media=@/full/path/to/your/image.jpg -F username=YOUR_TWITTER_USERNAME -F password=YOUR_TWITTER_PASSWORD -F message=\"your twitter message\" http://twitpic.com/api/uploadAndPost
