OK, mistery resolved, we have to uri encode the signature.

Hello Adam, actually i am using basic authentication sending login and
password as a header request:
String url = http://twitter.com/statuses/
friends_timeline.xml;
String credentials = username:password;
Our app uses https during the user session and in order to prevent
errors in some browsers we must make sure that all files (including
images) are loading via https as well.
Up until now we were just taking the profile image URL and swapping
http for https in the URL, and everything worked fine.

If it is at possible for you to switch over to Twitter JSON calls, do
so. It saves a ton of headaches. If the response document does not
