Classic ASP Authentication

Hi,

I have just started trying to get a simple Status update script (see below) working on our site. All it returns is ‘Could not authenticate you’

Can anyone please help steer me in the right direction?

strUrl = "https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json?include_entities=true HTTP/1.1"
Set xmlHttp = Server.Createobject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
xmlHttp.Open "POST", strUrl, False
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Connection", "close"
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "User-Agent", "OAuth gem v0.4.4"
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Authorization", "Oauth oauth_consumer_key=oauth_consumer_key"
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Authorization", "oauth_nonce=oauth_nonce"
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Authorization", "oauth_signature=oauth_signature"
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Authorization", "oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1"
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Authorization", "oauth_timestamp=" & timestamp()
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Authorization", "oauth_token=oauth_token"
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Authorization", "oauth_version=1.0"
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Host", "api.twitter.com"
xmlHttp.Send "status=Hello%20Ladies%20%2b%20Gentlemen%2c%20a%20signed%20OAuth%20request%21"
postTransaction = xmlHttp.responseText
xmlHttp.abort()
set xmlHttp = Nothing

Thanks
Matt

Try this - works well but note the URLs may be outdated now Twitter API 1.1 has been introduced.

The trusty old open source library ASPTwitter was recently updated to support Twitter API 1.1 with OAuth etc. This has the code you need and a working demo, in case it helps:

I tried ASPTwitter today and it works nicely with the current API.
