Hi,

I'm trying to authenticate with oauth and it doesn't work. I
registered my app and use the following settings:

url: http://brightkite.com/oauth/request_token

postdata: oauth_callback=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.de%2Fbk
%2Fbk_callback&oauth_consumer_key=xxxxxx&oauth_nonce=7451212199ba295620ce37fae4aaa0d2&oauth_signature=xxxxxx&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-
SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1256224377&oauth_version=1.0

The response I get from Brightkite is: "Ouch, something went wrong!"

Please, can anybody help or confirm that oAuth isn't working? I don't
have problemes with Twitter e.g. with my oauth client.

Thanks,
Toni

I forgot to mention that I'm trying to get an request token. This step
already fails.

Tom:

I am having the same problem. I have a public discussion open on the
Brightkite support site. They claimed the OAuth problems would be
cleared up last Monday but I haven't heard anything since I posted the
discussion just about a week ago. Here's the link to my discussion,
if you are interested: https://brightkite.tenderapp.com/discussions/problems/141-3rd-party-app-no-longer-works

Thanks for the information Mike. I guess the problem is concerning the
oauth provider site then. Anyone else experience these problems?
Please keep us updated about this issue. Thanks a lot.
