In addition, the server time is returned in the HEAD of every response from the Twitter API. If the first request fails you can inspect the time returned in the HEAD and calculate the difference between it and your local time. You can then add/subtract that difference to the timestamp you use for O

Nikolay, If you look at the code, you'll see that it's already passed through the URL encode function, but it doesn't do a thing. I'd say that the issue is at that function. Tom On Sep 18, 2010, at 11:41 PM, Nikolay Klimchuk wrote: > Second part of the base string: > oauth_consumer_key=sGNx

No. According to the oauth spec, your signature key is always "consumer_secret&token_secret", even if token_secret is empty, so when you first call request_token, your key will be "consumer_secret&" On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 21:24, Blaine Garrett wrote: > > Hi, > > Thanks for the quick reply Matt.
