So after battling OAuth, I finally was able to get an access token. But now, I am getting a 401 Unauthorized error when trying to post the status.
My question is, what parameters do I need to send for posting a status? All parameters(consumer key, consumer secret, token, token secret, nonce, timestamp, signature method, version)? Does that status go as a parameter, or is it written to the request like done with Basic Authentication? If it goes as a parameter, does it go as a parameter that is part of the signature, or is it tacked on at the end after the signature? I am doing a desktop app, so I have the PIN. Does the PIN need to also be a parameter to update the status? With this generic message, it's hard for me to figure out what I am doing wrong. I don't know if I am missing parameters, have too many parameters, or something that has nothing to do with the parameters. I am using .Net, which is throwing an exception when trying to get the response. All I can see is "(401) Unauthorized". I tried going by the OAuth core documentation for accessing protected resources: http://oauth.net/core/1.0#anchor13 but still get the same error. Here is my POST data for updating a status: POST&http%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fstatuses %2Fupdate.xml&oauth_consumer_key%3Dr1asAzyH1Kyq4BWE8ZlEg%26oauth_nonce %3D773772%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp %3D1253801265%26oauth_token%3D65084988- fQr5UVeZ6TDLZ9DQp7hEkOT0lXtAUUNp3AbYnCX8F%26oauth_version %3D1.0%26status%3DHelloWorld and my final URL looks like... http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml?oauth_consumer_key=r1asAzyH1Kyq4BWE8ZlEg&oauth_nonce=773772&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1253801265&oauth_token=65084988-fQr5UVeZ6TDLZ9DQp7hEkOT0lXtAUUNp3AbYnCX8F&oauth_version=1.0&status=HelloWorld&oauth_signature=5hYORksKDi%2bxF2LqXCxWrTI1ozk%3d
