Twitter with Curl

Here's the thing: I have a shell script on the Raspberry Pi that gets the public address through http://ip.3322.net and logs it on the local disk (just to see if the address the telecom gave me would be repeated). Then the last few days, see if you can make this file cloud, both convenient backup, and convenient for me to telnet. So find Baidu Cloud solution, but online about Baidu cloud disk data is too old, simply not feasible. So think of the way to automatically send a tweet on Twitter to achieve this, so there is the following things.

First I searched the internet for tweets using curl as a command-line tweet, but most of the articles were old, and the solution was almost like the following, but unfortunately, not successful:

Curl--basic--user $username: $password--data "status=I m twittering with curl! " http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml

On the other hand, the direct user name and password when the clear-text parameter is not a low point, Twitter should have some of the advanced point of the way. So, found Dean Chen's article (http://blog.csdn.net/csfreebird/article/details/18238465), and then found the post statuses/update (https:// Dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/post/statuses/update), this API is used to tweet the article. The next step is:

1. Create a new app in https://apps.twitter.com/

2. On the Https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/post/statuses/update page, under OAuth Signature generator Click on the app you just created.

3. Copy the generated code to the command line and enter to create a tweet.
