Hi.
I am trying to post comment on an Object (that is, a post, checkin,
photopost etc)
The problem is that a Post call with out a parameter works (this too
faces trouble at times), but the calls with Parameters don't work and
i get 417 Http Status or at times 500.
for example, here is what i am doing for testing purposes
int status=response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
System.out.println("Returned status -> "+status);
InputStream is2= response.getEntity().getContent();
for (int i = is2.read(); i > -1; i = is2.read()) {
System.out.write(i);
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
What am i doing wrong? I have tried many things but the most
appropriate to me is what i have shared here. Any help would be great.
I have developed a Java wrapper for Brightkite Api, however, this is
the only thing missing (i.e posting comments and creating objects). By
the way Likes call doesn't work too, I get a success response but
Likes don't appear !
Signing the OAuth call means you're ensuring that after it's been
signed, the call does not change (that's the security OAuth provides -
preventing tampering with authenticated calls). Thus, you have to add
your parameters BEFORE you sign the OAuth call - adding a parameter
afterwards is tantamount to tampering with the call.
Let me know if this helps.

Indeed you are right, i must have forgotten to post the correct code.
However, doing what you told me to , I get following response ...
Returned status -> 417

I can attest that the OAuth processes are working, and that the API is
working - if you wish to verify for testing purposes, try just
explicitly authenticating (meaning, don't use OAuth, just include
`username` and `password` parameters.
If that call works, then the problem is in your OAuth library and
implementation. It looks like you're using http://code.google.com/p/oauth-signpost/ - I notice the example code differs from your example:
// create an HTTP request to a protected resource
URL url = new URL("http://api.example.com/protected")
HttpURLConnection request = (HttpURLConnection)
url.openConnection();
// sign the request (consumer is a Signpost
DefaultOAuthConsumer)
consumer.sign(request);
// send the request
request.connect();
Specifically, the example says to use request.connect, while your code
uses httpClient.execute(request). Perhaps this is the issue?

//Brighkiteproperties is my custom bean and it has the tokens etc
DefaultOAuthConsumer consumer=new
DefaultOAuthConsumer(brightKiteProperties.getConsumerKey(),brightKiteProper ties.getConsumerSecret());
At this point, I think the issues are in your code/library and not
with our API, so this group is no longer the best place to discuss it.
However, I'm still more than welcome to help you work through it -
please email me directly at < jor...@brightkite.com >.
If it turns out there's any issue with the API, or if we come up with
useful information for other API developers, I'll post it here so it
can help others.

It works now, but sadly i used (unwillingly :D) my Username and

help would be nice !
which OAuth do i use for this ? I know two implementations,
CommonsHttpOAuthConsumer and DefaultOAuthConsumer. However, I can't
seem to find any class that signs a POSTMETHOD object ?
Please email me directly at jor...@brightkite.com for further
discussion on this topic. If the API functions, and the problem is in
your implementation - although I will be happy to help you via email -
the Google Group is not an appropriate place for figuring out client-
side implementation issues.
Thanks!
