Hi all, i'm currently working on a twitter bot, but for some reasons, i can't figure out a working code with webrequest with which i can follow someone.
Currently i can login and store cookies from that action, but then i try to POST a request to
with the exact token and the exact username they require, but i get the error which tells me that my account isn't enabled to do that action. Below the code:
where req is the httpwebrequest and cc is cookiecontainer. Where is the error?
