RE: xAuth always failed with 401 (c# code)

Hi James

 

The xauth code looks like it should produce the same result as my own XAuth code. If you’re sure about your signature code then the most likely possibility is that it’s one of the details in the sig - what code are you using to generate the timestamp?

Here's the method:

public string GenerateTimeStamp()
        {
            
            TimeSpan ts = DateTime.UtcNow - new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);
            return Convert.ToInt64(ts.TotalSeconds).ToString();
        }

Steven, I update my post with values for xauth. You may find any problems in them  https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/tumblr-api/wCJpIfUy1qs

Sorry James - I didn't realise this has created a new thread when I replied on my phone!

 

Although you're using UtcNow for your current date, your epoch date hasn't been adjusted for local time offsets.

 

Try new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0).ToUniversalTime() instead - that will give you the correct timestamp.
