Hi I've found a test site that gives feedback to what the error is at http://term.ie/oauth/example/
My error is that the signature is incorrect. What must the string look like that needs to be signed? I've tested my script and I know it encodes correctly if you give it the right information. Can someone please post a copy of the string that is sent to be encoded.
