I'm trying to use OAuth with Twitter, and I have my head wrapped around the pieces that need to be put in place to get a request token. But, it's not working. And the error message that I'm getting back isn't terribly helpful.
Luckily I found a tester but again, the error message there isn't terribly helpful. "Invalid signature." Ok, great. But since there are several steps involved (truth be told, all of which confuse the hell out of me) in generating the signature, I'm at a loss.
Is there another tool out there that might be more helpful? Maybe one where I can see what the data should be at each step (check that the request concatenation is right, check that the initial signing is right - i'm using HMAC-SHA1, check that the base 64 is right, etc).
Yes. Run, do not walk, to Hueniverse - one of the neatest pieces of Javascript you'll see!

Can anyone help me better understand Unicorn::ClientShutdown errors? I see them occasionally via my web app's error logs and I have no idea what's causing them, how I can replicate the issue, or whether it's safe to ignore it altogether.
From the documentation (https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/unicorn/2.0.0/Unicorn/ClientShutdown), it seems like this has something to do with interrupted sockets, but I'm not sure exactly what that means or how it relates to my app.
I believe I've only ever seen this on POST requests, and the error has almost exclusively been associated with a simple POST request that tracks page views (and is by far the most common non-GET request made by the web app).
Thanks in advance for your help!
I'm currently exploring the capabilities of custom passes in Apple Wallet.
One thing I would like to do is enable users to be able to go to my website if they click their gift card's icon.
However, after looking through the documentation - there doesn't seem to be any support for this basic ask.
The closest thing I was able to find was adding URLs to the back of the custom passes. Anyone know of a workaround?
I'm looking for the same thing.
I'm surprised people praise Apple Wallet passes that much, when it's really bad to work with.
Everything is file based, and you have to create a physical zip-file.
Google's approach is much better imho: everything is done via an API, so the pass itself is just a url with a token. Sharing a Google Pass is so much simpler and works everywhere.
Updating a pass is simple; just call the Google Api and everything will be ok. Images and assets are urls. Much much better to work with.
Updating an Apple pass involves fricking Push notifications, it's mind bogglingly complex compared to Google's solution.
Oh well
I have added the two lines of code to my project as described in this blog post.
However, as nothing different happens in the app itself, is there a way to test this behaviour and check it is working as expected? Is there a profile in instruments? Is there something I can print to the log in Xcode when a response is cached/cached response is used?
It just seems so simple to implement, I want to make sure it is actually having an effect on my app and that I won't have to implement a caching system myself.
Many thanks,
Sam
go offline right after you got the page and then reload the web view. the caching should take effect and the page should load I'd think
You can make sure so by analyzing HTTP traffic through a third party software like Charles.
Whenever app will make a request, HTTP Analyzer will pick the request made. If it is using cache, then same will be reflected in it.
(Check the contents of response to confirm the same)
I want to add Yelp search into my application.
To do this I need to use Yelps Oauth authentication. This sounded easy as I've made some server applications before.
However, I keep getting an INVALID_SIGNATURE with the code I have created to make and retrieve data from a constructed URL.
I have checked the signature output by my app and it is exactly the same as the one they provide at http://api.yelp.com (I've even checked the two strings (before the hashing) at http://www.textdiff.com and they said they were the same)
It seems I hit a dead end and cannot get around this error.
Can anyone point me in the right direction with why my signature might not work
and/or
Can someone point me to a good iOS Oauth tutorial and library (any library I have found has poor documentation on how to use it)
Thanks
I have been trying to mess with the twitter4j library for some time now, and cannot seem to get it to work.
The web site and documentation there has proven to be less than helpful, and all the resources I have been able to dig up are really old and most likely irrelevant.
Does anyone have any good resources on this stuff (right now, the oauth portion of it)? I am also trying to use this library via Coldfusion, if that makes a difference.
I have been able to create a (what I believe to be) valid request token and url (as I can get to twitter and login), but when I use the tokens that come back to reconstruct an access token later, it always bombs out with some kind of error...
Yes, the official doc is explaining only basic usages.
Twitter4J is best explained at the example codes located in twitter4j-examples/src/main/java/.
And the community is very active and you can expect getting answers promptly.
