The signature needs to be the very last parameter. You put all of the parameters in order except for the signature. Then you create the signature and append it to the end of the query string. Ryan Sent from my DROID On Jan 16, 2010 9:48 PM, eco_bach bac...@gmail.com wrote: Ok Yes this IS a

I'd strongly suggest consuming the Streaming API only from persistent processes that write into some form of durable asynchronous queue (of any type) for your application to consume. Running curl periodically is unlikely to be a robust solution. Select one of the existing Streaming API clients
