Converted twitter stream requests to secure (https) #19

Closed tracend closed 13 years ago

tracend commented 13 years ago

My node app (emotiglobe.com) just recently stopped accessing the twitter stream

I went to Twitter's doco and all the examples on the page are in https: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-api/methods

Which led me to believe that Twitter might have disabled the plain http requests

So I converted your request to https (under the new node.js spec) and got it working locally.

Hope you approve and commit to the official library so I can npm the update to my live site.

PS. I was careful to make the updates without changing your API so all apps using the library should not be affected by the upgrade.
