Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Failed to validate oauth signature and token

Yeah, the Nonce needs to be a unique value. If your language can create GUIDs, that might be the best option. Ryan On Sat, Jan 16, 2010 at 11:11 PM, eco_bach wrote: > solved, apparently my oauth_nonce value was incorrect, I assumed it > was simply a random string and I didn't use the mx.utils.

Re: [twitter-dev] List of Common Error messages and possible causes, ie 'Failed to validate oauth signature and token'.

Going by your other email, your query string parameters are not in the correct order. This is a very important part of OAuth. Ryan Sent from my DROID On Jan 16, 2010 9:48 PM, "eco_bach" wrote: Hi I've read the FAQ, and all the documentation. Am attempting to get an AS3 client working using Oa

Re: [twitter-dev] Failed to validate oauth signature and token

The signature needs to be the very last parameter. You put all of the parameters in order except for the signature. Then you create the signature and append it to the end of the query string. Ryan Sent from my DROID On Jan 16, 2010 9:48 PM, "eco_bach" wrote: Ok Yes this IS a common error mes

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Reinstate 'from app' for Basic Auth desktop apps until OAuth is fixed

I've been using OAuth for more than 3 months now, about 8 hours a day during the week while at work, using my own library and my own twitter client. I've never had an issue with stability. Now the desktop implementation is crappy(been posted about 50 billion times), but other than that, I've neve

Re: [twitter-dev] question about PIN code

When you direct the user to oauth/authorize, the user will be presented with an "Allow"/"Deny" page from Twitter. If they "Allow", they then will be given an PIN on the screen. The user will need to give this PIN to you. Ryan On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 7:59 PM, dduby wrote: > hi,,, > i am trying

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Please Help

You are don't have the parameters in the proper order. The signature goes last. The rest of the parameters must be in order. Put the parameters in order, create the signature, then append the signature to the end or the query string. Ryan Sent from my DROID On Jan 6, 2010 2:05 AM, "Vikram" w

Post your query string. Don't necessarily need to see the code yet, just need to see the URL that you are requesting. The error means that your signature is incorrect. Ryan On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 2:06 PM, Vikram wrote: > When I try to get the QAuth Request token I get "Failed to validate > oa

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Skipping the PIN based workflow for Desktop clients using OAuth

In the Desktop workflow, you don't have to enter the PIN every time. The user is NOT required to authorize your application every time they want to use it.After the first authorization, YOU store the access token and access token secret either in a database, file, or some other type of storage

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Request without oauth

Twitter is going to be making changes to OAuth to where the user can give you their credentials, and you can use those to get an Access Token. This is an option to bypass the "PIN" workflow. On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 10:03 AM, Fauzil Hamdi wrote: > some body please > > 2009/12/10 Fauzil Hamdi >

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: What Is The Status of Twitter OAuth?

I never knew that asking questions would be considered "whining". Twitter has never officially stated that OAuth is in "production" like they announce other features (like Lists). Now they seem to be telling developers to start moving to OAuth. You state to "don't" use it. It doesn't look like

Re: [twitter-dev] oauth Process flow and status Part 1

The signature has to go last. That's one mistake that most people make. You are suppose to put the parameters in order EXCEPT the signature parameter. The signature parameter is created by using the other parameters, then it's appended to the end of the query string. The OAuth signature is gene

Re: [twitter-dev] Get screen name with OAuth

In the query string of the returned response, there is a field called "screen_name". That will contain the screen name of the user that authorized the application. So when you get "oauth_token" and "oauth_token_secret" from the response, get "screen_name" also. Ryan On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 10:5
