For best results, normalize your space separation characters to "%20"
instead of "+". Your POST body should contain something like
"tweet%20from%20the%20api" and your OAuth signature basestring would encode
this portion as "tweet%2520from%2520the%2520api".
Some libraries get a little confused with the plus character.
