Keep getting OAuth::Unauthorized error when using oauth and twitter ruby gems

Question

I am using the ruby twitter gem and oauth to gain access to users twitter accounts. In my code, I have:

unless @user.twitter_authd?
      oauth = Twitter::O         


        

Answer 1

This problem seems to be caused by twitter not being able to handle connection keep-alive correctly. Make sure you set connection=close http header in the request to twitter. Wasted a weekend debugging this.
