I've had a go at implementing this with ruby & jnunemaker's twitter gem (https://github.com/jnunemaker/twitter), but to no avail.

All other aspects of @anywhere access works fine for me, as does getting access through OAuth for use via the REST API. Just can't get the token & secret for use with OAuth via @anywhere.

Can anyone verify that this functionality does still work & is there any timeframe for it to be officially supported?

Apart from the original slides by Matt & article by Abraham I can't find any more information on it.

For reference I always get a 401, with the message "Failed to validate oauth signature and token". FWIW my server time is fine, and all other OAuth interactions are working fine.

I have tried many variants, but the basic code is :

token="ABC";secret="DEF";oauth_bridge_code="GHI"

oauth = Twitter::OAuth.new(token, secret, :sign_in => true)

access_token = oauth.request_token.get_access_token({}, :oauth_bridge_code => oauth_bridge_code)

It's at this point that it 401's.

I have verified that I am using valid token & secret, and what looks like a valid bridge code is also obtained & used. But perhaps there is something I am missing here?

Thanks,

JB.

    Facebook does hits, Google Friend Connect does this (subsequently
    provides Twitter login as well through their API), so why can't
    twitters own API? Just pass a authorized key and secret with the
    cookie so we can through it through the OAuth request. This is making
    it an absolute nightmare to provide "single sign-on" for Twitter users
    as can be done with Facebook connect. 99% sites out there can't only
    superficially log users in with JS "prettiness". They need to be
    stored inside the database so access permissions and what have you may
    function.
