Mine were all to do with urlencoding, and ensuring all post data is
sent as post data, and none on the querystring for the URL; and thus
ensuring I use the modified URLencoding method required for Oauth -
which was previously being used, but not on the post data!

Once I did that, that test updates with all sorts of characters now
succeed every time... including spaces < > & etc etc

Seems good now... hope it stays that way!

Good luck to you guys!
