Mbleigh TwitterAuth

maybe i'm missing something, but the code looks as if i can only specify one base_url in the twitter_auth.yml file.

To extend this gem to use both the REST API and the Search API, should i:

First add a :search_url = "http://search.twitter.com/search" to the twitter_auth.yml file.

Second extend twitter_auth.rb to include the following:

  def self.base_url
    config['base_url'] || 'https://twitter.com'    
  end
  #trying out the search_url here
  def self.search_url
    config['search_url'] || 'https://twitter.com' 
  end
  
  def self.path_prefix
    URI.parse(base_url).path
  end
  #adding search path prefix here
  def self.search_path_prefix
    URI.parse(search_url).path
  end

notice the commented version differs from you code.

Also in twitter_auth.rb i'd need to tweek these methods as well

  def self.consumer
    OAuth::Consumer.new(
      config['oauth_consumer_key'],          
      config['oauth_consumer_secret'],
      :site => TwitterAuth.base_url
    )
  end

  def self.net
    uri = URI.parse(TwitterAuth.base_url)
    net = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
    net.use_ssl = uri.scheme == 'https'
    net.read_timeout = TwitterAuth.api_timeout
    net
  end
end

Or is there another way you intended for using the search api? Please advise.
