Hi Milo,
Though the process of URL encoding for OAuth is usually handled well by URL
encoding libraries, there are times when they don't do the right things as
far as what OAuth is expecting. Things like encoding ~ characters when
they are to remain unencoded, for example.
One thing you want to verify is that you are first URL escaping characters
in POST and query strings correctly -- according to the HTTP spec, rather
than the OAuth spec. Any character that needs URL escaping/% encoding in a
POST body needs to be encoded correctly before you even get to the OAuth
part of calculations. OAuth then prescribes that certain characters be %
encoded -- if your POST body already includes %-encoded characters, this
usually means that for the OAuth signature base string they need to encoded
again.
I have an example on github of nearly every possible UTF-8 character and how
it should be represented at different stages of the request here:

I am using a built in url encoding method that was included in the

to work to url encode.

I have searched and searched and not found a good solution to being
able to send special characters in status updates using c#. I can send
status updates that contain most ASCII characters (but not all).
fore example, this would work:
I love twitter
but this will fail:
twitter = love
I am using oAuth and the error I get back is that I am
unauthenticated. This would indicate that my signature is not being
generated correctly. In the one that fails I know that it is the =
that is causing the issue but can't seem to get around this. I get the
same when I use any kind of Unicode character as well.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
How are you encoding each of those tweets in your OAuth requests?
