OAuth broken on appengine

I’ve been using the Twitter4j library to successfully authenticate with twitter for months. Recently (in past few days) it has stopped working.

The request token is returning null values.

requestToken = twitter.getOAuthRequestToken(callbackURL);
log.info("Request token: " + requestToken.getToken());
log.info("Request token secret: " + requestToken.getTokenSecret());

This only happens on Appengine, and still works fine on my local machine.

Disabling gzip in client library fixed it.
final Configuration conf = new ConfigurationBuilder().setGZIPEnabled(false).build();
