Hi,
The error you get is the error people get when not sending the oauth
information like signature, token, etc. You should send the OAuth
information in the Authorization: header.
Also, you should pass the timestamp in seconds since the unix epoch, not
in milliseconds.
If this does not solve it, please show me one of your Base Strings.
