Bug Description
[Impact]
Twitter's API now enforces SSL for all requests, which makes the gwibber account dialog fail to load the login page when adding an account.
[Test case]
Open the accounts dialog and attempt to add a new twitter account.
[Regression potential]
Very low, the change is required in order to load the authentication panel for adding
an account. Without the fix it doesn't load at all, just displaying a line of
text stating that SSL is required.
Ubuntu 12.04.4
Adding a Twitter account from gwibber does not open the twitter authorization page.
Twitter now only accepts SSL connections.
After inspecting the code on gwibber-
File /usr/share/
Line 78 and 144 - Needs to be "https" where it states "http"
File /usr/share/
Line 401 - Needs to be "https" where it states "http"
Editing these files with the previous fix makes adding a twitter account working again.
