Hello folks,
I have my client speaking OAuth to twitter for the entire initial

But once I try using the access token to call:

All I get from twitter is a 401 with the following body:
Twitter should offer a registration process for these cases. usually
the posts aren't going to many accounts, so you could implement this
registration with the Twitter user. the Twitter user could allow or
disallow basic auth calls to his account.

Hi Miguel,
Your signature base string is off by just a little bit here -- you're
globbing the query parameter count on to the original URL when it should
be separated out.. the query string part of the URL should be represented
only as key/value pairs, sorted with the other OAuth parameters. Your
When you're constructing your signature base string, don't include the
query parameters in the URL. The query parameters do need to be
included in the next part of the signature base string though. Here's
what the base string in your example should look like:

That is actually not spam.
If our messages on Twitter are spam by your consideration, then you
will want to block, remove and report too many of other genuine
Twitter users.
The messages were posted indirectly by Google, not personally, and
