Hey Everyone,

So I finally had sometime to figure out a couple things. First things
first, I fixed the lingering issues in the python script

https://gist.github.com/1389963

This will post single photos or multiple photos. It should have a bit more
clarity and will be able to explain exactly how to upload the photo.

If you need more in-depth help about how the body of the request looks,
just tcpdump this file while making calls and you'll be able to see the
nitty gritty of what's going on.

My apologies for not being able to do this sooner! As Derek and David has
stated before, we don't have a devoted engineer to the api so it becomes
difficult to get time to do this. Let me know if you have any questions, I
can't promise I'll get to them right away, but I'll do what I can.

Thanks again,

~John

You are correct, the base signature string I used is invalid. When I<br>
put it into that first &quot;oauthTester&quot; you linked to, it complains =
that<br>
&quot;data[0]&quot; should be encoded. If you change &quot;data%5B0%5D&quot=
; to &quot;data<br>
%255B0%255D&quot; in the base string then the validator says it is valid.<b=
r>
Posts with valid base strings never worked for me though. I could only<br>
get the posts to work by using the invalid &quot;data%5B0%5D&quot; in the b=
ase<br>
string.<br>
<br>
It would be great if the Tumblr team could address that issue, as well<br>
as either specifying what character sets people should use (e.g. Latin<br>
1) or changing to using UTF-8. Another option would be to switch to<br>
multipart form data for binary posts.<br>
