Using Python's oauth2 library I've been attempting to implement a three-legged oauth request (as outlined here - http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/news/handling-twitters-three-legged-oauth-process) to Twitter only to obtain a 403 response - "SSL is required" error.
I've been using this guide (https://bitbucket.org/david/django-oauth-plus/wiki/consumer_example) to help setup my 1.5 Django app to make my requests but with no avail.
Version of Python I'm currently using is 2.7.
(I have tried playing with adding the verify parameter for requests.get call and using add_certificate on my client)
The specific area I am looking to pinpoint is how I can add SSL to my request here is a snapshop of code as it currently stands --
import oauth2 as oauth import requests import urlparse from django.shortcuts import render_to_response from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect from django.conf import settings from twitterapp.models import User consumer = oauth.Consumer(settings.TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY, settings.TWITTER_CONSUMER_SEC) client = oauth.Client(consumer) client.add_certificate request_token_url = 'http://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token' access_token_url = 'http://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token' authorize_url='https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize' def signin(request): oauth_request = oauth.Request.from_consumer_and_token(consumer, http_url=request_token_url, parameters={'oauth_callback':callback_url}) oauth_request.sign_request(oauth.SignatureMethod_HMAC_SHA1(), consumer, None) response = requests.get(request_token_url, headers=oauth_request.to_header(), verify=True) request_token = dict(urlparse.parse_qsl(response.content)) url = 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=%s' % request_token['oauth_token'] return HttpResponseRedirect(url)
