Hey Guys,
I am using oauth.py that is in my /usr/share/pyshared/oauth/ directory. (I think it comes with python or I happened to installed it somehow.)
I am trying to get request token and using following code
consumer = oauth.OAuthConsumer(settings.TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY, settings.TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET)
signature_method_plaintext = oauth.OAuthSignatureMethod_PLAINTEXT()
signature_method_hmac_sha1 = oauth.OAuthSignatureMethod_HMAC_SHA1()
# '* Obtain a request token ...'
oauth_request = oauth.OAuthRequest.from_consumer_and_token(consumer, http_method='POST', callback=settings.CALLBACK_URL, http_url=settings.TWITTER_REQUEST_TOKEN_URL)
oauth_request.sign_request(signature_method_hmac_sha1, consumer, None)
connection = httplib.HTTPConnection("api.twitter.com")
req_header = oauth_request.to_header()
#print "req_header : "
#print req_header
connection.request('POST', settings.TWITTER_REQUEST_TOKEN_URL,headers=req_header)
response = connection.getresponse()
resp_headers = response.getheaders()
print resp_headers
txt = response.read()
print txt
But I am getting error. I checked on net and there were a lot of posts suggesting that my server time might not be in sync with twitter’s time. I am developing the app on my machine (127.0.0.1) and my time is correct. I verified that by matching my system’s time with that of received in response header from twitter. I am working in India, so I converted my IST time to GMT time to compare the dates.
Response header received:

response.read() gives me following:
Failed to validate oauth signature and token
