Solution

  • More than likely your application registration is incorrect. Go to http://dev.twitter.com and view your application. There you will see that the application is registered as a desktop application. In order to be a web application, you must specify a callback address. I suggest you provide your sites homepage, since you will provide the 'real' callback address at runtime.

    The error message you are seeing is a bug and should be addressed in the next release.
