Twilio REST API error - "Authenticate"
I'm getting the following error when I try to place calls using the Twilio REST API.
https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/rest
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Server: nginx
Date: Thu, 10 May 2012 16:50:48 GMT
Content-Type: application/xml
Connection: close
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Twilio API"
Etag:

401 Authenticate 20003
http://www.twilio.com/docs/errors/20003
I googled, but found nothing. Anyone had this issue?
What I POSTed on the API call was:-
$url = 'https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/ACdxxxxxxx/Calls';
From => +1415xxxxxx
To => +1646xxxxx
Url => http://173.201.xx.xx/Test/Twilio/twilio_test.php

The 401 error is usually related to when you are supposed to authenticate but haven't or potentially an error occurred with it.
Can you provide the full snippet of code that you're using to place the call? Are you using one of our sample snippets or something else?
