Ruby Twitter OAuth API : 401 Unauthorized error also says Failed to validate oauth signature and token

Ah! what a waste, after trying out for couple of hours i’ve suddenly found out a blessing post from “blaine garrett” . hussss! he really got it fixed through synchronizing system time. my system time was around 30 mins beyond twitter server time.

so far i can assume, this problem was occurring due to twitter oauth service call validation, since the attached timestamp (through OAuth timestamp or some other header which was carrying request time stamp) was giving far beyond time (ie 30 mins beyond in my case). thus twitter was rejecting the request.

anyway, after synchronizing my system date and time, i can see it’s working.

thanks “baline garrett” 🙂
