[twitter-dev] Re: Does “~” need encode？
I had the same issue with the ~ encoding. If ~ gets encoded to %7E the
signature is wrong, but with a plain ~ it's fine.
But if u look at abraham's php twitter library, which also implements
the needed oauth functionality, u can see he also uses the non encoded
~.
( https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth )
This is his url encoding method:
(See OAuth.h in the OAuthUtil class)
public static function urlencode_rfc3986($input) {
if (is_array($input)) {
return array_map(array('OAuthUtil', 'urlencode_rfc3986'), $input);
} else if (is_scalar($input)) {
return str_replace(
'+',
' ',
str_replace('%7E', '~', rawurlencode($input))
);
} else {
return '';
}
As one can see, the %7E gets decoded back to ~.
Maybe RFC3986 is worth a look.

There might be some other problem in u r signature generation.
but not about the ~ url encoding.

Thank you for your reply.
But as I said, if encode ~, signature will be wrong.

[twitter-dev] Re: Randomly failing OAuth procedure
Hi Taylor, after doing some more detailed logging, i managed to figure out the problem. First I do the encoding of the post body, then the signature is being build and attached to the post body. I just forgot to encode the signature string, too, after attaching it to the post body. So everytime when the signature strings contained a slash or an equal sign, like base64 tends to produce, the oauth failed. Besides the encoding of the status texts was wrong. Just as I saw in Abraham's Twitter PHP library I decoded %7E back to ~ in the final string and oauth is happy. Otherwise, if the string contains a plain ~ it fails, still wondering why... Thanks again for the support and sunny greetings from Hamburg Germany, Felix.
