Hello, I am attempting to design a system to integrate into my website's news management that will allow visitors to click a button/logo and automatically tweet about it. I can't get past the authentication step, however.
I'm using Andy Smith's PHP OAuth library to handle all my OAuth work, and following the tutorial at http://dev.twitter.com/auth to try to make it all work. I've hit a wall at this point, however: --------------------- Now that we have our signature, we have everything we need to make the request to the endpoint https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token. Now we just generate an HTTP header called "Authorization" with the relevant OAuth parameters for the request: When Twitter.com receives our request, it will respond with an oauth_token, oauth_token_secret (collectively, your "request token"), and a field called oauth_callback_confirmed that will have the value of "true" if it's understood your OAuth callback. -------------------- In order to actually do this, I'm simply using a page that does the following: <?php header("Location: https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token";); header("Authorization: OAuth oauth_nonce= \"bba01121f573323c0a02656a8d66dddf\", oauth_callback=\"$MY_CALLBACK\", oauth_signature_method=\"HMAC-SHA1\", oauth_timestamp=\"1276484279\", oauth_consumer_key=\"$MY_KEY\", oauth_signature= \"k8zuJVVgqi2fgI0QXQm0oxqWSNU=\", oauth_version=\"1.0\""); ?> $MY_CALLBACK is a urlencode()'d URL, and $MY_KEY is valid. The header does actually format that information, removed here for privacy. This doesn't work at all; the header gets lost. If I place the Location header second, I end up with two sets of headers. The Authorization header is attached to my actual page, which the headers from api.twitter do not have this Authorization. How do I go about getting that header to actually go to Twitter? I've tried using both fopen() and cURL() methods of posting online, but they just hang until timeout and fail - likely a configuration setting by my service provider. Any help to get those headers posting would be much appreciated. I figure if I can get these ones posting, the rest of them should follow suit.
