OAuth success but getting intermittent 500 Internal Server Error requesting access token

[Yu-Shan Fung]

Hi All,

I've been getting a high number of 500 errors (about 50% of the time yesterday) after user authenticated via oauth, and I try to get the access token from twitter. The weird thing is that the error is not consistent, and the exact same code/setup works about half the time, with the same test user acocunt.

I'm using the ruby oauth gem and here's the error it returns

 500 "Internal Server Error"

 /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:2097:in `error!'

 [RAILS_ROOT]/vendor/gems/oauth-0.3.5/lib/oauth/consumer.rb:199:in `token_request'

 [RAILS_ROOT]/vendor/gems/oauth-0.3.5/lib/oauth/tokens/request_token.rb:18:in `get_access_token'

....

Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks, much appreciated!

Yu-Shan

Getting the same thing, 500's from access token requests.

This is affecting all of our new users.

Any insight would be lovely!

We're looking into the 500s on oAuth requests.

We have identified the issue and deployed a fix. Please let us know
if you continue to see high error rates on oauth URLs.

This isn't of any use in fixing it, but we're seeing very similar
issues (using ruby twitter-auth) with our application.

Our app had same issue, was mostly OK overnight, but we did see the
odd failure.

Is there an update on what happened? Thanks!
