Hey, is the streaming API down or something? I am using Twitter HBC to track streaming data. It was working fine earlier but now it is constantly giving 401 error and is unable to authenticate.
I am having the same problem using twitter4j and basic auth.
I am also using Twitter4j with OAuth and I can post a response, it appears as a reply from my account but the person who sent the tweet can’t see my response! How strange …
Switched to OAuth and my application is connecting again.

Basic auth was disabled for the streaming API on June 11, 2013: https://dev.twitter.com/calendar
