first of all: ERASE YOUR CONSUMER KEY AND SECRET AND GET SOME NEW AT TWITTER, anyone who reads this post kan now authenticate as your app and fuck things up...

the basic authentication method is deprecated by twitter and cannot be used anymore. If you need to authenticate your app, use the oauth method.

btw: to retrieve public tweets, mentions, public timeline, or anything like that, you don't need to authenticate at all! authentication is only needed if you want to post something on a users wall

also note that the twitter search url has been changed to http://search.twitter.com/search, change it in the twitter library source.
