We have problem when trying to get data from REST API for statuses/user_timeline method.
When we publish a post with more than 113 characters, we don not get the media tag or media_url value in result.
This is the result we get from Twitter API for status ID 779251385586122752 (image exists on the real status but media tag is not listed in API result):
stdClass Object
