/oauth/request_token sporadically not returning a request token?

Hey Chris,

@episod helped me track down the problem with poorly formatted headers which their new servers are rejecting. A couple of different things:

You should be connecting to https://api.twitter.com not https://twitter.com for the /oauth/ endpoints, i.e.

conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection('api.twitter.com')

Ensure that in your POST body looks like:
POST /oauth/request_token?
rather than
POST https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token?

Hi David,

I got it working after making the changes. I’m not too familiar with oauth and was just using a package I found online. After some tweaking I got it to work. Thanks!

Glad you both have got the issues worked out. Starting later this afternoon, we’ll begin better handling these somewhat malformed requests.
