OAuth started returning errors

Bryan — Wed, 30 May 2012 18:53:56 GMT

My app, using the signpost libraries for performing oauth, is no longer able to request a new token. I"m getting the following errors: Authentication error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {oauth=WWW-Authenticate: OAuth realm="http://api.myspace.com/authorization", oauth_problem=parameter_absent, oauth_parameters_absent=oauth_consumer_key} oauth.signpost.exception.OAuthNotAuthorizedException: Authorization failed (server replied with a 401). This can happen if the consumer key was not correct or the signatures did not match. My consumer key and secret have not changed, and neither has the code, since this last worked. Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Thank you! Bryan

How do you display OS 1.0 app on profile?

phreekk™ — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 21:29:52 GMT

Older OS 0.8 apps used to have a tab for profile code, but I can't find this on the OS 1.0 app. How do I define a profile app and how do I add it to my profile?

Update: I found out that I needed add a new Content block as such marked as profile, but after I add it to my profile in the Customize view I don't see anything:

<Content type="html" view="profile">
...
</Content>

Update 2: It seems that only the creator of the app can add it to their profile. Other developers do not even see the module when they go to customize.

Update 3: But even when adding it I can't see it, I get an error message that says: "No data for this module!" and then is empty when I try to view my profile.

iPhone Login Callback functions not responding. Help please.

Caleb — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 16:43:45 GMT

Hi, I'm developing for the iPhone and currently am having trouble receiving the callback for a successful login. So far, from my app, a user can login to mySpace.------------------------------------------- However, none of the login callbacks are working. I expected (loginViewControllerUserDidCancel), (loginViewController:didLoginWithToken:) or (loginViewController:didFailWithError:) to be triggered by this login event. None of these work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- After a user selects "login", a safari view opens with web results for my callback URL. After I close the webpage, my app resumes where it was before the login.------------------------------------------------ If I select login again, a myspace popup appears asking me if I want to resume my session. It seems that my session has been saved. This would be nice IF my app could detect that I am already logged in. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I call [[MSContext sharedContext] isLoggedIn], it always returns FALSE. I think it is because my access token is not being saved correctly and therefore not being retrieved correctly. --------------- The function: (- (void)_setAccessToken:(MSOAuthToken *)value action:(NSString *)action) always sets the access token to nil because it never sets it to any value BECAUSE the callbacks are not occurring. Because this access token is nil I cannot control what happens after login and detect if I am already logged in. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to be able to detect if I am already logged in so that when users select the mySpace button, instead of taking them to the "resume session" screen. I want them to have their status immediately updated.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are the main things I am doing: [MSContext initializeSharedContextWithConsumerKey:kMS_OAuthConsumerKey secret:kMS_OAuthConsumerSecret authorizationCallbackURL:@"my.Test.Radio"];MSSDK *sdk = [MSSDK sharedSDK]; [sdk setUseLocation:YES]; ...then... [[MSContext sharedContext] setPermissions:@"AllowActivitiesAutoPublish|ShowUpdatesFromFriends|UpdateMoodStatus"]; // resume the context from a previously stored state -- [[MSContext sharedContext] resume]; if (![[MSContext sharedContext] isLoggedIn]) {[[MSContext sharedContext] loginWithViewController:self animated:YES withDelegate:self];} else {NSString *status = @"TestStatus"; NSDictionary *mood = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@"static" forKey:@"moodName"]; // update the status and mood [[MSSDK sharedSDK] updateStatus:status mood:mood];}------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *NOTE: I have seen in another thread that I might need to add something to my info.pList to get the callbacks to work but I don't understand what I need to add. Please explain this.------------------------- ** I added the "---" because your website removes all spacing making this impossible to read. Thank You. - Davis

Problems with Post to Myspace API

Winnie The Pooh — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 17:39:42 GMT

I'm not having much luck with the tutorials I found. I've tried the approaches listed on this page

http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=How_to_Add_Share_on_MySpace_to_Your_Site

But this seems to cache the meta data of my URL and because I have a dynamic website with changing content, scraping the information out of the meta tags doesnt seem very convenient. So I've tried the non-preferred solution on the bottom of that page in which you can supposedly pass the parameters manually through javascript, but the description still comes out of the meta tag and there doesnt seem to be support for defining the image (also comes from the meta tag).

I've also tried the post form approach listed in this PDF:
http://x.myspace.com/download/posttomyspacedeveloperdocumentation001.pdf

The promising description claims that I can even pass image tags in the title or content parameters but all of the passed variables are ignored in favor of the meta tag content.

Any suggestions? Are these instructions already obsolete?

myspace php sdk Oauth throws HTTP error 401

I noticed a lot of people get this error and were told to send a Wireshark http capture to developerrelations@myspace-inc.com. I did that about 3 or 4 weeks ago, sent follow up emails but still no answer from myspace.

I would like to include myspace in my site using oauth. Could anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

Myspace OAuth PHP SDK throws Fatal error

D.Thiyagesan — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 14:46:48 GMT

Testing a profile surface when the user is not logged in

Kim — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 15:00:32 GMT

Can you suggest a method for testing the profile surface case when the viewer is not logged into their myspace account? Since only developers can view profiles when the application is in development, and since one must be logged into Myspace to have developer access, I can't see a way to test this case.

Ideally, we would like to put in some console logs so we can diagnose the issue. Any suggestions?

thanks,

Kim

Rest API for get Activities does not return totalResults

Jaroslav — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 10:05:35 GMT

Hi,

when I call REST API to gain activities (GET http://opensocial.myspace.com/roa/09/activities/@me/@all?count=100&fields=id%2Cbody%2Ctitle%2Csource%2CmsPerson%2Ctarget%2Cverbs%2CpostedTime%2Cobjects HTTP/1.1),

I do not get back totalResult attribute but just startIndex, indexPerPage and numOmittedEntries: (...http:\/\/activitystrea.ms\/schema\/1.0\/post"]}}],"itemsPerPage":"100","numOmittedEntries":"72","startIndex":"1"}). If I decrease count to be lower than total count, then numOmittedEntries are missing (which is correct). For another endpoints like media it works.

Is this a bug or intended behaviour?

Thanks

Android OAuth failing with Signpost

Bryan — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 17:50:11 GMT

Hi,

I've been using OAuth in my Android app, with mostly good results. I find out that the occasional failures were due to my use of the DefaultOAuthProvider, rather than CommonsHttpOAuthProvider class. Signpost states this on their project page, http://code.google.com/p/oauth-signpost/

So I switched to CommonsHttpOAuthProvider, requiring use of a newer signpost version, and now I can't authenticate to myspace at all. I had to make the following changes to the myspace sdk, but it still hangs on retrieveRequestToken.

// snippet from MSOAuth.java
    private void initConsumer(String apiKey, String apiSecret) {
        // update to use signpost-commonshttp4-1.2.1.1
//        mOAuthConsumer = new CommonsHttpOAuthConsumer(apiKey, apiSecret, SignatureMethod.HMAC_SHA1);
        Log.v("MSOAuth","initConsumer("+apiKey+","+apiSecret+")");
        mOAuthConsumer = new CommonsHttpOAuthConsumer(apiKey, apiSecret);
        mOAuthConsumer.setMessageSigner(new HmacSha1MessageSigner());
    }

    private void initProvider() {
        Log.v("MSOAuth","initProvider");
        String requestedPermissions = MSSession.getSession().getRequestedPermissions();
        String authUrl = (requestedPermissions == null) ? OAUTH_AUTHORIZATION_URL : OAUTH_AUTHORIZATION_URL + "?myspaceid.permissions=" + requestedPermissions;
        // update to use signpost-commonshttp4-1.2.1.1
//        mOAuthProvider = new DefaultOAuthProvider(OAUTH_REQUEST_TOKEN_URL, OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN_URL, authUrl);
        mOAuthProvider = new CommonsHttpOAuthProvider(OAUTH_REQUEST_TOKEN_URL, OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN_URL, authUrl);
    }

    public String retrieveRequestToken(String callbackUrl) throws OAuthMessageSignerException, OAuthNotAuthorizedException, OAuthExpectationFailedException, OAuthCommunicationException {
        // update to use signpost-commonshttp4-1.2.1.1
//        String authUrl = mOAuthProvider.retrieveRequestToken(callbackUrl);
        Log.v("MSOAuth","retrieveRequestToken("+callbackUrl+")");
        // the next line times out
        String authUrl = mOAuthProvider.retrieveRequestToken(mOAuthConsumer, callbackUrl);
        Log.v("MSOAuth","authUrl:"+authUrl);
        this.mRequestToken = getToken();
        Log.v("MSOAuth","mRequestToken:"+getToken());
        this.mRequestTokenSecret = getTokenSecret();
        Log.v("MSOAuth","mRequestTokenSecret:"+getTokenSecret());
        return authUrl;
    }

    public void retrieveAccessToken(String verifier) throws OAuthMessageSignerException, OAuthNotAuthorizedException, OAuthExpectationFailedException, OAuthCommunicationException {
        // update to use signpost-commonshttp4-1.2.1.1
//        mOAuthProvider.retrieveAccessToken(verifier);
        mOAuthProvider.retrieveAccessToken(mOAuthConsumer, verifier);
    }

I'm not getting any response, though I'm still able to authenticate to twitter with no issues, so it seems that OAuth is implemented correctly. Even when I switch back to using DefaultOAuthProvider, it won't authenticate with MySpace. Why can't I authenticate anymore?

Albums management issues

Kostya — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 15:36:49 GMT

Good day,

According to this: http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=OpenSocial_v0.9_Albums#Add_albums
I can create new album using PHP sample provided.

(I use the latest available opensocial-php-client-1.1.1, MySpaceID app and 3-legged OAuth)

The first issue I've faced is that album creation doesn't actually work. According to example:

$album = new osapiAlbum();
$album->setFields('caption', 'new album caption');
 
$user_params = array(
    'userId' => '@me', 
    'groupId' => '@self', 
    'album' => $album
);

But in fact class osapiAlbum doesn't have method "setFields". Actually there's no such methods in any classes so I assumed that it's a misprint andyou meant $album->setField()

After renaming this method I constantly get something like this:

[create_album] => osapiError Object
        (
            [errorCode:private] => 401
            [errorMessage:private] => "401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials."
            [response] => 
        )

Does anyone have any ideas about what's wrong?

Second question (probably connected to the first one): I was able to get the list of my albums. But there seems to be a way to list not only public albums but all of them including visible to friends and private. There's a nice table with permission levels here: http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=OpenSocial_v0.9_Albums#Notes but I can't find where to set these permissions.I don't have any checkboxes/dropdowns for setting permissions on my app "Edit Details" page.

Any thoughts/links where to read more?

oauth authentication is now failing

Bryan — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 15:20:02 GMT

Hi, I've been using the myspace api for an android app for several months, but now I'm getting errors when requesting friend feeds. The issue appears to have started sometime in January. This code still works for authenticated users and getting the token and token secret: mMSSession = MSSession.getSession(MYSPACE_KEY, MYSPACE_SECRET, MYSPACE_CALLBACK, this); startActivity(new Intent(this, MSLoginActivity.class)); ... @Override public void sessionDidLogin(MSSession session) { mMSSession.setToken(session.getToken()); mMSSession.setTokenSecret(session.getTokenSecret()); MSSDK.getUserInfo(new MSRequestCallback()); } But this code, which used to work fine, is now returning 401 errors: OAuthConsumer consumer = new CommonsHttpOAuthConsumer(MYSPACE_KEY, MYSPACE_SECRET, SignatureMethod.HMAC_SHA1); consumer.setTokenWithSecret(accounts.getString(itoken), accounts.getString(isecret)); HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(); ResponseHandler responseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler(); HttpGet request = new HttpGet("http://opensocial.myspace.com/1.0/statusmood/@me/@friends/history?includeself=true&fields=author,source"); try { consumer.sign(request); String response = client.execute(request, responseHandler); ... It's returning the following errors: Authentication error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {} org.apache.http.client.HttpResponseException: Unauthorized Did something about the authentication change? Any ideas how to get this working again? Thank you! Bryan

OAuth tool generates invalid URLs?

Wvmrkt — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 22:26:16 GMT

Hi,

I'm generating some requests using the OAuth tool, and they all result in "Invalid digital signature for base string" errors (even though I'm pretty sure they were fine on 02/22). Has anything changed recently? Am I doing anything wrong?

Here are the input parameters I use and a sample output (I edited out the consumer key and secret everywhere):

Server: http://api.myspace.com
Resource URL: 1.0/people/myspace.com.person.12345/@friends?format=json&startIndex=1
Consumer Key: <the consumer key of my app>
Consumer Secret: <the consumer secret of my app>
OAuth Token: <empty string>
OAuth Token Secret: <empty string>
OAuth Timestamp: <empty string>
OAuth Nonce: <empty string>
Signature Method: HMAC-SHA1
Version: None
OAuth Mode: Querystring

Response body:

1.RequestURI=http://api.myspace.com/1.0/people/myspace.com.person.12345/@friends?format=json&oauth_consumer_key=<consumer_key>&oauth_nonce=634341088029737523&oauth_signature=DBoMW61LhwvLxlswB3B4VczfYds=&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1298512002&startIndex=1

3.Signature=DBoMW61LhwvLxlswB3B4VczfYds=

Request Format: URI Representation of the Request:

When I paste this URL into a browser, I get:

{"statusCode":"401","statusDescription":"Invalid digital signature for base string: \"GET&http%3A%2F%2Fapi.myspace.com%2F1.0%2Fpeople%2Fmyspace.com.person.12345%2F%40friends&format%3Djson%26oauth_consumer_key%3D<consumer_key>%26oauth_nonce%3D634341085548018773%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1298511754%26startIndex%3D1\""}

Any ideas?

(My app generates exactly the same output as the OAuth tool, and I can't move forward before I figure this out.)

Thanks!

Invalid digital signature for base string

Andrew — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 22:59:31 GMT

I am trying to create a signature for the api.myspace.com/stream/subscription API. I am new to OAUTH, and I don't quite understand how I should be setting up my request URI. I have tried, as post:

http://api.myspace.com/stream/subscription?=http://adserver.location-labs.com/test/processEvents

and

http://api.myspace.com/stream/subscription?={\"Subscription\" : { \"Type\" : \"All\", "Endpoint" : "http://adserver.location-labs.com/test/processEvents", \"Rate\" : 1, \"Format\" : \"application/atom+xml\", }},

neither of which works, I get the above error message. I am using my signature key and secret as input to an oauth signing method. Not sure what to do next.

I also tried using the latter formulation, as a get, and a different error message results:

No REST endpoint was found for this request. Please check the URI and HTTP method used.

Not sure if this is progress or not ...

Hi, all, I'm developing MySpace client application for android by using opensocial-java-client library.
I had no problem with this until first week of January in this year. However, suddenly the application has a problem.
When my application requests for the information of accounts to MySpace server, opensocial library gets Exceptions.
Has MySpace been changed? or Do I develop with wrong code?
Any hint is very appreciated.

Following is my code and stackTrace.

code I wrote-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
oAuth = msCustLogin.getOAuth3LeggedScheme(id, passwd);
msClient = new Client(new MySpaceProvider(), oAuth);

Request pReq = PeopleService.getViewer();
Response response;

try {
response = msClient.send(pReq);
myMSInfo = response.getEntry();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

StackTrace I got-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

01-18 02:30:35.940: WARN/System.err(26873): java.lang.NullPointerException

Response of MySpace when the Exception occurs---------------------------------------------------------------
(I replaced token, tokenSecret and userId values.)

{"captcha":{"captchaGuid":"","captchaImageUri":""},"error":"","token":"","tokenSecret":"","userId":""}

Thanks.

Continuous 401 "Invalid digital signature for base string"

F This — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 07:22:42 GMT

Hi all,

So, now that I have my social media class (in C#) working and completing the OAuth cycle with MySpace, I'm stuck with the inability to actually perform API calls. For example, I just want to update the status and mood of a user, and I keep getting back a 401 error. I can only conclude that I'm either adding something to the params I shouldn't be, or that I'm missing something from the params that should be there. If the docs were actually informative easy to understand, I might know, but alas, they are not and I don't.

On a side note, my ultimate goal is to really post a message to a user's account with a link back to the website that initiated the whole dance, so if I'm not performing the right API call, then let me know. If possible, I'll appreciate examples as well on acomplishing the task.

So, here is the actual call being performed (formatted for legibility):

API Endpoint

http://opensocial.myspace.com/1.0/statusmood/@me/@self?format=xml

OAuth Header

OAuth
oauth_consumer_key="b74ab64e8cb245d8aa2c83a29c50ca33",
oauth_nonce="uQd68aEmnqKkvI1rfZ9GCBtHA3qQSu9I5tJA9RiM8rIsHZmYloPnIdc2wFFfTYE2",
oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1",
oauth_timestamp="1281423154",
oauth_token="m0Qcum8vlMJX5WTg3f2D3TIRj90I%2BW%2BsygRPYj3tCoJXQe%2BauoDwSscxgoVt5asYoXHPLqipM%2Ba6%2FtM8xRsY6087VarwVdU4lcQCDEtqOvQ%3D",
oauth_signature="ZXZxvdof7aaez%2Bnd%2FHCKrku%2Fyi4%3D"

POST Params

moodName=curious
&status=jvuifiuyf%20iyf%20iuf%20iuf%20uif%20%20uyiiouioiggoygy%20io%20igoggoioi

API Response

401
Invalid digital signature for base string:
"POST&http%3A%2F%2Fopensocial.myspace.com%2F1.0%2Fstatusmood%2F%40me%2F%40self&format%3Dxml%26oauth_consumer_key%3Db74ab64e8cb245d8aa2c83a29c50ca33%26oauth_nonce%3DuQd68aEmnqKkvI1rfZ9GCBtHA3qQSu9I5tJA9RiM8rIsHZmYloPnIdc2wFFfTYE2%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1281423154%26oauth_token%3Dm0Qcum8vlMJX5WTg3f2D3TIRj90I%2BW%2BsygRPYj3tCoJXQe%2BauoDwSscxgoVt5asYoXHPLqipM%2Ba6%2FtM8xRsY6087VarwVdU4lcQCDEtqOvQ%3D"

I've verified that the signature is being generated as it should be through the use of this tool, based on the params I know I'm working with. So, what's going on? Where am I screwing up with this API call?

I'm leaning on the idea that it's the MySpace side that's failing because from what I see, the string it wants me to send is not the string I should be sending based on the OAuth spec which requires ALL params: Form, Query, and Header; to be part of the signature calculation. In the string that the API is responding with, I only see the Query and the Header params, unless the API just doesn't care to declare the Form params in the response.

P.S. Please, whoever is replying, don't ask me to send you an email with Wireshark caps. I don't know how to use that thing, nor do I really care to learn to. Just pretend it doesn't exist and answer my question just like how the majority of other tech support forums do (which I would be asking at had it not been for the complete lack of care for MySpace...). I'll deal with this issue for a day or two more, but after that I'm just going to abandon MySpace integration permanently...

Thanks in advance!

Tester is Unauthorized to fetch data

phreekk™ — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 23:00:10 GMT

I have a Gadget app that uses the OpenSocial 1.0 spec and works fine for me and anyone listed as a developer. But I have a tester (that I can't seem to make a developer) and they receive the error message "unauthorized" when I try to implement a newFetchPersonRequest.

I have made sure the account has added the app and that their privacy settings are not blocking games or third-party apps.

Is there another setting or something I need to add to my request?

Tester ID: 558659572
App ID: 197533

Error Response:
{"responseItems_":{"viewer":{"originalDataRequest_":{"osToken_":"0iNdAd7/p4kkZ4u7JBhN1iguipgHVSoj1U8FQ7XfFRLeA8/ItlupBRkTtCM5dKK0gc16Si9rYlt1wDZs9fffT59XDiQRThbrQcyEcLqduNU=", "requestObjects":{"_hash":{}, "_num":0}, "requestObjectCount_":0, "busy_":false, "requestPool_":{"q":[, "qSpace":0}, "method":"GET", "params":{}, "endPoint":"http://opensocial.msappspace.com/1.0/people/558659572/@self?ts=1293058504290&fields=aboutMe, age, bodyType, books, children, currentLocation, drinker, ethnicity, gender, hasApp, heroes, id, interests, jobInterests, lookingFor, movies, music, name, networkPresence, nickname, organizations, photos, profileSong, profileUrl, relationshipStatus, religion, sexualOrientation, smoker, status, thumbnailUrl, tvShows, urls", "errored_":true, "itemsProcessed_":0, "RequestIdTable_":null}, "data_":null, "errorCode_":"unauthorized", "errorMessage_":"Unauthorized", "restData_":null}}, "globalError_":true}

When I request access, and select Allow I use this code:
var P = MyOpenSpace.Permission;
opensocial.requestPermission([P.VIEWER_FULL_PROFILE_INFO,P.VIEWER_ACCESS_TO_BASIC_INFO,P.VIEWER_DISPLAY_ON_PROFILE,P.VIEWER_DISPLAY_ON_HOME], "Access is required to play.", permVerify); I get this response, and still it's Unauthorized:
{"originalDataRequest_":null, "data_":[{"user":"VIEWER", "permission":"ViewFullProfileInfo", "permissionIndicator":"VF"}], "errorCode_":"", "errorMessage_":"", "restData_":null}

And when I reload the page I get the permission request again, likes it not being saved.

Hi,

I'm using a simple php curl to send the request and get back response as below.

My issue is that i am not able to get the exact signature generated by the OAUTH tools.

/******* PHP CODE AS BELOW *********/

$ts = '1292383279';
$nnc = '634279800892466620';

$ckey = 'http://www.myspace.com/557696287';
$csec = '988d121aad514c5a86dc2c62cf6c30ff358e61599ae940ed9ae2db5c7add6db1';

$base = "GET&" . urlencode("http://api.myspace.com/request_token");
$base .= "%26oauth_consumer_key%3D" . urlencode(urlencode($ckey));
$base .= "%26oauth_nonce%3D" . $nnc;
$base .= "%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1";
$base .= "%26oauth_timestamp%3D" . $ts;
$base .= "%26oauth_token%3D";
$base .= "%26oauth_version%3D1.0";

$sig = hash_hmac('SHA1', $base, $csec . "&", true);
$sig = urlencode(base64_encode($sig));

print "EXPECTED : %2BvkePnj%2BvkcjhJZt2zBj4Jakv8g%3D ";
print "RESULT : $sig"; # This will return ejsDOX6NOZxMVwrOClmRGi9v5Bw%3D which are different from the expected.

/******** END PHP CODE *************/

I had tried using the myspace OAUTH tools and putting in info as above and able to get the response. So i copy paste the request url from the tools.

http://api.myspace.com/request_token?oauth_consumer_key=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myspace.com%2F557696287&oauth_nonce=634279800892466620&oauth_signature=%2BvkePnj%2BvkcjhJZt2zBj4Jakv8g%3D&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1292383279&oauth_version=1.0

Above is the working request with the same parameter i passing in.
So i get the expected signature from the url which is %2BvkePnj%2BvkcjhJZt2zBj4Jakv8g%3D
trying to compare with the one i created and they are different.
This is my only problem why i always get signature_invalid.
Did i did anything wrong in constructing the base string or hashing the signature?

Below is the final base string for your reference
GET&http%3A%2F%2Fapi.myspace.com%2Frequest_token%26oauth_consumer_key%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.myspace.com%252F557696287%26oauth_nonce%3D1733832921%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1292383371%26oauth_token%3D%26oauth_version%3D1.0

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best Regards
