Hi Mounir, In this case I'm fairly confident then that it's the Twitter API implementation of OAuth that's at fault here and these invalid nonce errors are spurious for you. While I hate to suggest working around bugs like this, it might be your best strategy -- if you encounter an invalid nonce error, pause for a few moments, regenerate the request with a different nonce and timestamp, and try again.
If you find a case where it's repeatably throwing you this error, for example -- you notice that it only happens for a certain access token, or it only happens when you're using certain characters in the POST body or nonce -- then please bring it to our attention. Scalability projects, among other things, have prevented our engineering team from rolling out a reimplementation of our OAuth back end that will fix aggravating issues like these, among other things.
