One issue with your implementation is that you are not using Twitter API URLs.
Twitter API URLs have api.twitter.com as the domain and /1/ as the version before any resource. http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/home_timeline.xml http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.xml If you don't use those style URLs, you are going to run into many issues. Next: using OAuth on the query string leads to more problems than it is worth. If you use HTTP headers instead, you separate concerns between the resource you're trying to access and the credentials you're using to access them. It makes it much easier for others to assist you as well. Your oauth_token value should only be changing between requests if you're representing a different user. If it's changing and you don't know why, it's time to get intimate with your code path & your library's code path. Finally, are you sure that your application is setup as a read/write application? If it's set as a read-only app, and you want to POST a status update, you'll need to change it to a r/w application, expire the access token manually at http://twitter.com/settings/connections and then re-issue the access token.
