MTCoder: You've got a little bit of an escaping problem here..
First, "spaces" aren't valid characters for your POST body. Personally, I recommend using %20 to represent a space. "+" would also be valid in a POST body. Once your POST body is correct, the escaping for your OAuth signature base string is then considered. If you used %20 to encode spaces in your POST body, then in your signature base string, %2520 should be used where a %20 was before. If you used "+" in your POST body, %2B should be used instead of "+" in your OAuth signature base string. The OAuth signature base string's validity depends on the initial, valid encoding of your POST body.
