[twitter-dev] Re: xAuth request returns 401, need help
Was the cause of the empty response body ever discovered? I'm having a similar issue, except my 401 response body has Content-Length: 1 containing an empty space . On Nov 19 2010, 3:44 pm, Matt Harris thematthar...@twitter.com wrote: Hey Chrys, Agreed. The authentication header doesn't have to be in order but as said previously, it helps with debugging. It is really strange that the response body is empty. It maybe easier if you email me the full request headers, with response headers and content so I can debug further. For security it'll be easier if you email me that directly.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: xAuth request returns 401, need help
Hey Chrys, Agreed. The authentication header doesn't have to be in order but as said previously, it helps with debugging. It is really strange that the response body is empty. It maybe easier if you email me the full request headers, with response headers and content so I can debug further. For security it'll be easier if you email me that directly.

[twitter-dev] Re: xAuth request returns 401, need help
Does the order of the params in either the Authorization or Base string matter? Here are my Request Headers: Authorization = OAuth oauth_timestamp=\1290134876\, oauth_nonce= \D3EC42D2-A37F-4298-987D-0F9603B0C9C7\, oauth_version=\1.0\, oauth_consumer_key=\xxx\, oauth_signature_method=\HMAC-SHA1\, oauth_signature=\MOWT%2BaSs35RhzvRRMVxRG0Y5p0E%3D\; Content-Length = 71; Content-Type = application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8; Here is my actual base string: POSThttps%3A%2F%2Fapi.twitter.com%2Foauth %2Faccess_tokenoauth_consumer_key%3Dxxx%26oauth_nonce%3DD3EC42D2- A37F-4298-987D-0F9603B0C9C7%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC- SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1290134876%26oauth_version%3D1.0%26x_auth_mode %3Dclient_auth%26x_auth_password%3Dxxx%26x_auth_username%3Dchrysb On Nov 18, 6:47 pm, Chrys Bader chr...@gmail.com wrote: Yes I compared the UTC timestamp that my phone is generating with the actual UTC timestamp, and they were the same. Is there anything else I can show you for more information? No matter what, I just keep getting a 401 response from Twitter.

It maybe find but it's quite common. Your content-type is fine. Matt On Thu, Nov 18, 2010 at 6:03 PM, Chrys Bader chr...@gmail.com wrote: Ok, I looked into it. According to the iPhone SDK documentation, I am indeed sending the UTC (GMT) timestamp. Still not sure what else could be wrong? Is this the right Content-Type?

Have you been granted xAuth access? 2. Double check the timestamp of your request is within 10 or so minutes of the time returned by Twitter's servers. Our server time is in UTC. 3. Verify your encoding is correct. For example: a password like ab$ %123 should be in your basestring as ab%2524%2525%2526123 and in your post body as ab%24%25%26123.
