Strange Problem | Arduino | Forum

I've run into a strange problem involving trying to integrate the thingsTweet app into my program. The arduino basic example seems to work well when using one analoge input to update a graph.

I tried adding the updateTwitterStatus function into the mix (yes I've defined the thingsTweet api variable) and it consistently gives me a 400 bad request. I'm not even calling the function yet from the loop. Simply having the function in my sketch causes the 400 bad request. The sketch compiles fine with no errors. Here's the function:

void updateTwitterStatus(String msg)

{  

if (client.connect() && msg.length() > 0)  {     // Create HTTP POST Data    

msg = "api_key="+thingtweetAPIKey+"&status="+msg;        Serial.println("Connected to ThingTweet...");    Serial.println();            client.print("POST /apps/thingtweet/1/statuses/update HTTP/1.1\n");    client.print("Host: api.thingspeak.com\n");

client.print("Connection: close\n");

client.print("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n");    client.print("Content-Length: ");    

client.print(msg.length());    

client.print("\n\n");    

client.print(msg);  

}  else  {    

Serial.println("Connection Failed.");     

 Serial.println();  

}

}

While trying to debug this problem I removed the client.print commands from this function but left everything else in and then the sketch started working properly. If I left even just one line of client.print in the updateTwitterStatus function the sketch fails. I also tried creating a new instance of client called clientTwitter leaving client for the  updateThingSpeak function. Still caused problems.

I'm kind of stumped here. Is this an arduino ethernet library bug or is it a thingspeak problem?
