Hi,
I dunno how oauth in javascript works. I implemented oauth in
Java and I faced the same signature invalid issue. I broke my head for about
2 weeks before I found a solution. Anyways this was the problem. I was
running my app on a box which was sitting behind an apache webserver
machine. So when I send out requests for any end point, the opensocial
container used to sign the requests with my public IP address and while
verifying the response from my end, the IP with which I would be signing was
my local server's which was sitting behind my apache. Hence there was a
mismatch and it used to fire the signature invalid exception everytime.
After finding this out, I fixed the issue by replacing the IP in my oauth
message with that of my public IP before I do a validation. Now it works
like a charm. Hope this helps :)
