Error 500 when updating Twitter status using fsock and oauth.

Question

Hi everyone,

I am having some slight problem with Twitter Oauth and fsock. The reason I am using fsock, is to cater people that do not have curl installed.

So here goes my problem. I was able to use fsock to get the access token however when I use fsock to update twitter status. It returns me with an Internal Error 500.

Here is what I post:

POST https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json HTTP/1.1
Host: api.twitter.com
Authorization: OAuth oauth_consumer_key=qArHWfcnikadIzP2k6EVg&oauth_nonce=bf07179df00bee93a9537ec12a1d7be6&oauth_signature=Ugs%2FGAPrtFIrRqhGQ9KrkrEYPVI%3D&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1283772251&oauth_token=177905108-JwUzEOE1ekGUbQieMBtB4P4L11WrEej6izvHQbJA&oauth_version=1.0&status=Published%20a%20new%20blog%20entry%20title%3AA%20Look%20Back%20%28and%20Forward%29%20at%20the%20Latest%20Tech%20Gadgets%20under%20category%3ATechnology
User-Agent: TwitterOAuth v0.2.0-beta2
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Connection: Close

And this is what twitter replied me with:

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

POST https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json HTTP/1.1

You probably mean:

POST /1/statuses/update.json HTTP/1.1

While opening the socket with:

fsockopen("ssl://api.twitter.com", 443, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);

Answer 2

Thanks for the suggestions arte, but looks like it didn't help much.

POST /1/statuses/update.json HTTP/1.1

Tried this but still gives me error 500.

fsockopen("ssl://api.twitter.com", 443, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);

I am already using this.
