        get.addParameter("oauth_consumer_key", "fm5qq8panuw0rnm" );
        get.addParameter("oauth_nonce",String.valueOf(nonce));
        get.addParameter("oauth_signature_method", "PLAINTEXT");
        get.addParameter("oauth_signature", result);
        get.addParameter("oauth_timestamp",String.valueOf(timestamp.getTime()/1000));
        get.addParameter("oauth_token", "z3d00yk6qwh2eui");

AI am trying to send post request to dropbox for getting the request_token but during the excution of my servlet i getting such errors .. while executing the same code through consle main() function …i am getting the correct result but same not from the servlet

Answer 1

you are requesting a token
PostMethod(“https://api.dropbox.com/1/oauth/request_token”);

but also passing a token as a parameter?

get.addParameter(“oauth_token”, “z3d00yk6qwh2eui”);
