Hello Taylor! I don't think the error has something to do with the access token, because sometimes the error is thrown during my request to retrieve a Request Token. I'm afraid the error has something to do with encodings or something similar.
Also, I would like to know if there is an "advised" way to generate the nonce value. I was using the formula of the OAuth library : it concatenates the timestamp and a random integer value, and then it applies a MD5 hash on it. Maybe you or someone else know another way that works to generate this value. Regards.
