Hi there,
First just a note that you should use the proper API path of
https://api.twitter.com/1/direct_messages/new.xml for this request -- API
URLs without version numbers or the api subdomain aren't supporting and can
have unexpected results.
I think that your problem might be that your POST body needs to be validly
escaped prior to becoming part of your signature base string.
The phrase "Æ Ø Å and æ ø å..." should become
"%C3%86%20%C3%98%20%C3%85%20and%20%C3%A6%20%C3%B8%20%C3%A5..." for the POST
body to be valid.
Now that you've escaped the values for your POST body, you feed them into
your signature base string creation process, which requires that the %'s be
escaped... so this becomes:
"%25C3%2586%2520%25C3%2598%2520%25C3%2585%2520and%2520%25C3%25A6%2520%25C3%25B8%2520%25C3%25A5..."
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks!
Taylor
