Twitter, oauth and coldfusion - coldfusion

Question

I am trying to post to twitter. I have the app already authenticated and now want to post an update.
This is what my http post is at:
<cfhttp url="http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json" method="post">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="status" value="#urlEncodedFormat('my test post')#" />
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="oauth_consumer_key" value="xxx" />
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="oauth_nonce" value="xxx" />
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="oauth_signature_method" value="#urlEncodedFormat('HMAC-SHA1')#" />
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="oauth_token" value="xxx" />
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="oauth_timestamp" value="#GetTickCount()#" />
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="oauth_version" value="1.0" />
</cfhttp>
Has anyone done this? Am I going down the right route?

Answer 1

have you read this?
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth#auth-request
you need to construct the "signature base string" and post as body (warning: untested code, for CF8+)
<cffunction name="makeSignatureBaseString" returntype="string" output="false">
<cfargument name="httpMethod" type="string" required="true">
<cfargument name="baseUri" type="string" required="true">
<cfargument name="values" type="struct" required="true">
<cfset var signatureBaseString = "#httpMethod#&#URLEncodedFormat(baseUri)#&">
<cfset var keys = StructKeyArray(values)>
<cfset var key = "">
<cfset ArraySort(keys, "textNoCase")>
<cfloop array="#keys#" index="key">
<cfset signatureBaseString &= URLEncodedFormat("&#key#=#values[key]#")>
</cfloop>
<cfreturn signatureBaseString>
</cffunction>

<!--- using values from http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth#auth-request --->
<cfset params = {
oauth_consumer_key = "GDdmIQH6jhtmLUypg82gる",
oauth_nonce = "oElnnMTQIZvqvlfXM56aBLAf5noGD0AQR3Fmi7Q6Y",
oauth_signature_method = "HMAC-SHA1",
oauth_token = "819797-Jxq8aYUDRmykzVKrgoLhXSq67TEa5ruc4GJC2rWimw",
oauth_timestamp = "1272325550",
oauth_version = "1.0"
}>
<cfhttp url="http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json" method="POST">
<cfloop collection="#params#" item="key">
<cfheader type="header" name="#key#" value="#params[key]#">
</cfloop>
<!--- add status to the params for makeSignatureBaseString() --->
<cfset params.status = "setting up my twitter 私のさえずりを設定する">
<cfhttpparam type="body"
value="#makeSignatureBaseString('POST', 'http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json', params)#">
