A lot of people would assume that you can't use the query string when
you are using POST (or PUT)
But that is not true, the query string is a valid part of the uri, and
as such you can always use it.

The xoauth_body_signature is the checksum of the http body being sent
(in your case the XML).
The xoauth_body_signature is handled just like the other oauth_xxxx,
add them together with the query/post variables and sign it the normal
way.

Make sure that the content-type is correctly set (in your case
application/xml) then it should work nicely.
