Inappropriate?oauth_signature is generated by the consumer (the website that is offering the API services for users), its for the proof that the consumer is actually the owner of the consumer key it have provided while generating request to the API. Hope that clears it. also check
http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/spec/... this will surly help a lot. -
Inappropriate?Hi alwisha,
the link you've provided doesn't really make understand how to generarte oauth_signature.
Does it mean that I can provide any value roughly similar to the one below or there's a mechanism which I should use to get it generated?

Have you ever done this?
How did you generate oauth_signature value?
Please, your response will be hugely helpfull.
THanks very much in advance
I’m happy

Hi doviche. I would *strongly* recommend that you use an existing free and open source OAuth library rather than doing it yourself. Doing it yourself requires that you have good knowledge of security on the web — whereas using a library means making use of code that people more familiar with this area have written.
