How to follow user at Twitter?

I want to follow a user on Twitter with the help of code. I am using below mentioned code.

HttpWebRequest messageRequest = 
(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://twitter.com/friendships/create/" + 
                                           userIdToFollow + ".xml?follow=true");
messageRequest.Method = "POST";
messageRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
messageRequest.ContentLength = 0;
messageRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
WebResponse response = messageRequest.GetResponse();
StreamReader sReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
responseStr = sReader.ReadToEnd();

I am getting an error while getting the response

The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

Am I missing something ?
