I get great performance in the request_token call.
I've racked my brain trying to come up with a way to send the same
oauth headers some other way (other than writing a php page or
something to do the same). I'm using .Net 1.1 standard HTTPWebRequest
methods to do this. I would expect them to detect the response
correctly.
If I can't figure some other way out of it, I'll have to try writing a
little curl request. I'm sure there's something wrong with the way
I'm doing things, but I just can't see it. The weird part is that if
there were something wrong with my oauth headers or signature or
something, I'd expect the page to return with an error, the timeout is
the unexpected part.
In case it helps, here's my oauth request method:
