.netrc is an already defined file standard that is already recognized by curl for storing usernames and passwords.
curl doesn't insist that this file not be world readable, so checks will still need to be made to ensure that it is a secure file.
Users would then simply add lines like:
machine twitter.com login kemitix password my-twitter-password
machine myproxy login myproxyuser password my-proxy-password
A normal proxy can be used by setting the $http_proxy environment variable, but an authenticating proxy need curl to send it a username and password.
The JSON status confirmation message that is returned from twitter.com when a message is posted should be quietly discarded. It is currently being dumped on the command line.
Changelog for 0.0.3 said that this had been fixed but it hasn't. I/YOU LIED!
