Could not authenticate error with Twitter

[hamzaelsaawy]

My code returns a 401 HTTP.ExceptionRequest.StatusError: {"code":32,"message":"Could not authenticate you."}

Running Julia 1.0 with package status [22d8b318] OAuth v0.7.0. My tokens work using twurl and tweepy, code is:

import OAuth
endpoint = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/show.json"
options = Dict("screen_name" => "twitterdev")

httpmethod = "GET"
oauth_consumer_key = "..."
oauth_consumer_secret = "..."
oauth_token = "..."
oauth_token_secret = "..."

OAuth.oauth_request_resource(endpoint, httpmethod, options, oauth_consumer_key, 
    oauth_consumer_secret, oauth_token, oauth_token_secret)

The response is:

ERROR: HTTP.ExceptionRequest.StatusError(401, HTTP.Messages.Response:

Not sure what to tell you...the original tests of this package still pass on Julia 1.0, but I haven't paid my attention to this package (or the related Twitter.jl) in some time.

But if you're willing to dig into it, please feel free to submit a PR

Unfortunately the tests dont test the oauth_header and oauth_request_resource functions. Ill try and dig around, but Im pretty new to web stuff, so no promises :/

It's possible that Twitter may have changed its authentication scheme, or it could be in the Julia package. I went back and re-ran the CI here for version 0.4.0 (which passed originally), but now it doesn't

I can't work on it right, but probably the best thing to do if you're really interested in solving this would be to work from one of the passing Twitter.jl builds on Travis, pin the packages, then figure out which package breaks Twitter.jl.

[randyzwitch]

@hamzaelsaawy I just fixed what should be the answer. If you re-run your code using the master branch, it should work (I just validated your code with my credentials).

If Twitter interests you though, it'd be great to clean up Twitter.jl.

That works, thanks! Ill take a look, but no promises
