Twitter autoresponder bot

By Daniel15 (dan.cx) This is a very simple Twitter autoresponder bot. It requires PECL OAuth extension to be installed (run "pecl install oauth", or if on Windows, grab php-oauth.dll. If using cPanel you can install it via WHM). The authentication is designed for command-line usage, it won't work too well via a web browser. You'll have to sign up for an application on Twitter's site to get the consumer key and secret.

Could be modified to be more advanced (match regular expressions to answer questions, etc.)

Questions? See my blog post - http://dan.cx/blog/2011/06/twitter-autoreply-bot-dbznappa

Modified 2013-06-13 - Twitter API 1.0 discontinued, modified to use Twitter API 1.1

Why?

There is a long standing issue in Ruby where the net/http library by default does not check the validity of an SSL certificate during a TLS handshake. Rather than deal with the underlying problem (a missing certificate authority, a self-signed certificate, etc.) one tends to see bad hacks everywhere. This can lead to problems down the road.

From what I can see the OpenSSL library that Rails Installer delivers has no certificate authorities defined. So, let's go fetch some from the curl website. And since this is for ruby, why don't we download and install the file with a ruby script?

Installation

The Ruby Way! (Fun)

NOTE: You can check, if your config here:
http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html

Decrypt the private key using the password you entered when you created your key:
openssl rsa -in ssl.key -out /etc/nginx/conf/ssl.key

Protect your key from prying eyes:
chmod 600 /etc/nginx/conf/ssl.key
