I also see this since ~10 hours. It causes the load on my server to go up significantly. imdaemon.php and imdaemon.php seem to go in an endless loop trying to post a notice to twitter and getting 417 back all the time.

I'm seeing this with 1.1.0 as well, but in my case my server load goes crazy because queuedaemon.php goes into an endless loop getting 417 all the time.

mrb found the header injection for an empty 'Expect' header as we can see in this thread:
https://status.jbfavre.org/conversation/785074

Comment it out and stuff will work again. line 246(ish) in lib/oauthclient.php

Be careful however, as we can read in the linked conversation:
I just noticed that too. A bunch of bug reports from 2008/2009 tell .NET users to clear out the 'Expect' header when talking to the API. StatusNet source comment is: '// Twitter is strict about accepting invalid "Expect" headers'

I guess Twitter fixed the bug on their side (proxy?) now in 2012. I'd be careful about removing it entirely though. It might be a temporary behaviour.

So be alert if something similar happens again, and you've commented the line out.
