"Invalid signature": oAuth provider with Django-piston
- by Martin Eve
Hi,
I'm working with django-piston to attempt to create an API that supports oAuth.
I started out using the tutorial at:
http://blog.carduner.net/2010/01/26/django-piston-and-oauth/
I added a consumer to piston's admin interface with key and secret both set to "abcd" for test purposes.
The urls are successfully wired-up and the oAuth provider is called.
However, running my get request token tests with tripit (python get_request_token.py "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api" abcd abcd), I receive the following error:
Invalid signature. Expected signature
base string:
GET&http%3A%2F%2F127.0.0.1%3A8000%2Fapi%2Foauth%2Frequest_token%2F&oauth_consumer_key%3Dabcd%26oauth_nonce%3D0c0bdded5b1afb8eddf94f7ccc672658%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1275135410%26oauth_version%3D1.0
The problem seems to lie inside the _check_signature method of Piston's oauth.py, where
valid_sig = signature_method.check_signature(oauth_request, consumer, token, signature)
is returning false. I can't, however, work out how to get the signature validated.
Any ideas?
-----Update-----
If I remove the test consumer from piston's backend, the response returned is correctly set to "Invalid consumer", so this lookup appears to be working.
