[twitter-dev] Re: Problem signing for statuses/update
I had similar weird experience on January 8: started to get incorrect signature responses from twitter. Eventually everything started to work correctly with no code change on my part. Would be great if there was more info on the subject... On Dec 21 2009, 9:35 am, jdangerslater jasoncsla...@gmail.com wrote: Well, it just started working except the asterisk. That I had to change to be escaped as %2A instead of %2a. Not sure what was up with the rest.

At first I noticed that these characters weren't being escaped, so I fixed that ( I used this:http://www.viera.info/URLEncode_Code_Chart.htmasa reference) and everything is now going out properly and the proxy debugger I'm using (Charles) decides the values properly so I think that's fine. The response I get back looks like this: hash request/statuses/update.xml/request errorIncorrect signature/error /hash Here is what my postdata looks like: oauth_consumer_key=**CONSUMER_KEY**oauth_nonce=2287oauth_signature_method =HMAC- SHA1oauth_timestamp=1261066215oauth_t oken=**OAUTH_TOKEN**oauth_version=1.0status=BAD%20CHARS%20%21%2a %28%29%27oauth_signature=LafAO6Fd1lfZ1I 6aaaGZqDKyhnA%3D Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong would help, thanks

Abraham, Thank you for your suggestion about curl http://jazzychad.net/iponly.php;. Submitting the IP produced by this command seem to have fixed our rate limit issue.

A sure fire way to check though is to compare them.

We have received whitelisting approval from Twitter, but seems it is applicable to the @name and the IP. Given that we still get rate limit errors, should we just whitelist the IP? If so, what is the process of changing the whitelisting options? Thank you, -Stas
