Status Update issue (couldn't Authenticate you)

[arun_pandian_22]

When I post * with status, I got the error message “Couldn’t authenticate you”. why? how to resolve that?

Can you provide an example of an API call you are making (preferably with code snippet)? Does this only happen if the * character is included in the status string?

Ya, it happens only when I include * character on the Twitter status update message.

   statusesService.update(tweet_text, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, new Callback<Tweet>() {
            @Override
            public void success(Result<Tweet> result) {

            }
            @Override
            public void failure(TwitterException e) {

            }
        });

//API Call  - "/1.1/statuses/update.json"

Are you only entering *, or a longer status containing *?

Is this using Twitter4J?

[arun_pandian_22]

It happens in both situations. I use Twitter Fabric kit.
