Twitter sets an option called X-Frame-Options to SAMEORIGIN, which means that twitter.com can only be embedded in an iframe (MobileWeb's version of a webview) if the site of the parent is also twitter.com. Since your test obviously isn't running from twitter.com, the request is failing. Change the src to www.appcelerator.com and everything works fine.
