Command Line using CURL for Updating Profile Images

here is a quick command-line request using cURL that might give you a hint about how to make the

update_profile_background_image and

update_profile_image methods work:

curl -k -F 'image=@filename.jpg;type=image/jpeg' -u yourusername:yourpassword -H 'Expect:' https://twitter.com/account/update_profile_image.xml

The important part here is -F section, which allows the raw data to be sucked out of a graphics file (@filename.jpg) and POSTed to the Twitter

method. For more information about using cURL from the command line
