[twitter-dev] Re: Dynamic URLs with oauth return url
Jeff, All of my 'sites' are under control of one domain, so I just set a cookie before auth on any of the sites (with it's url), and then I redirect to the correct subdomain from my main site once my main site gets back control (I also do some housekeeping). I said 'I just set...' but this was fairly complex to get right and to deal with all situations. If you are going to many other sites, not under your control, I am not sure if the cookie method would work, I hope someone else has some ideas :) Mark On Sep 7, 1:37 am, Jeff Gladnick jeff.gladn...@gmail.com wrote: I work forhttp://www.greatdentalwebsites.comand am trying to configure the twitter integration to work with the new oauth system.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Dynamic URLs with oauth return url
When you provide an oauth_callback on the oauth/request_token step, as long as you properly encode it, can contain any additional URL parameters you might want to send back to your server, including identifying information about the user and context/state that you may need to carry over.

I've been unable to do that besides url encoding everything. I was able to get the cookie (and session var) to work though.
