[twitter-dev] Problem with status encoding... I guess

2010-05-14 Thread @sebagomez
I have an app using OAuth (actaully xAuth) and it is working well...
or almost well.

I had a few bugs with encoding, I was not using UTF8 and now I do, so
I am able to tweet stauff like Peñarol á é í ó ú (spanish lang
characters). I was making some tests and I noticed that if I want to
set '!' as my status (just the exclamation mark) it dos not work... I
get an Incorrect signature error message.

I tried moving stuff around but my actual config works in most cases.
I can even twit 'é' as my status and it works!
:S

Can anybody point me in the right direction... most samples I've seen
online don't care about UTF8 encoding, probably because most of them
are built in the US :(

Thanks.
Regards,
Seba

I'm working on a Japanese twitter app and have had similar challenges with
encoding (i.e. the OAuth lib I used didnt support Japanese). I'll have a bit
of a look and see if I have the same ! problem as you and let you know.
