Re: [twitter-dev] XAuth authentication fail on Chinese machine

[Tom van der Woerdt]

Hi,

Most 401 Unauthorized errors (and especially the ones involving UTF8
characters) are because of errors in the Base String, used to generate
the signature.

Please use the validation tool at , it may
help you a lot with validating your Base String. As access_token always
involves usernames and passwords, please do substitute them with dummy
ones for security reasons - just make sure that they at least look like
the previous ones, because otherwise it would be hard to detect encoding
issues.

Tom

PS: When dealing with encoding issues, XX'ing the values really
doesn't help.

[twitter-dev] XAuth authentication fail on Chinese machine

[pawan]

Hi,

We have created a Desktop Twitter application, In this application I
have used XAuth feature to get data from "Twitter API". It works fine
on Win 7 Ultimate machine. However when I run my application's exe on
core "Chinese" Win 7 machine, I got "The remote server returned an
error: (401) Unauthorized." error from following request:

https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token?oauth_consumer_key=&oauth_nonce=9644877&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1288573328&oauth_version=1.0&x_auth_mode=client_auth&x_auth_password=XX&x_auth_username=&oauth_signature=XXX

Can anyone help me out to know how to resolve this issue.

Thanks,
Pawan
