I’m trying to obtain credentials from ning network using Coldfusion 9, so first this is the curl syntax to test the api :

curl -k https://external.ningapis.com/xn/rest/mbdevsite/1.0/Token?xn_pretty=true -u devshare@megabase.tn:mbdev2011 -d "oauth_signature_method=PLAINTEXT&
oauth_consumer_key=741ab68b-63fb-4949-891c-9e88f5143034&oauth_signature=36da2ea8
-10fb-48cc-aaa4-c17c551c6b87%26"

and it returns :

{
  "success" : true,
  "entry" : {
    "author" : "1o0butfek0b3p",
    "oauthConsumerKey" : "741ab68b-63fb-4949-891c-9e88f5143034",
    "oauthToken" : "46f1e137-549a-4d9d-ae05-62782debfd3d",
    "oauthTokenSecret" : "9f778ab5-db8e-4f3e-b17f-61d249b91f0a"
  },
  "resources" : {
  }

then i translated it to coldfusion like this :

<cfhttp  
        method="post"  
        url="https://external.ningapis.com/xn/rest/mbdevsite/1.0/Token"
        username="devshare@megabase.tn"
        password="mbdev2011"> 
    <cfhttpparam type="header" name="content-type" value="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
    <cfhttpparam name="oauth_signature_method" type="FormField" value="PLAINTEXT"/> 
    <cfhttpparam name="oauth_consumer_key" type="FormField" value="741ab68b-63fb-4949-891c-9e88f5143034"/>
    <cfhttpparam name="oauth_signature" type="FormField" value="36da2ea8-10fb-48cc-aaa4-c17c551c6b87%26"/>  
</cfhttp> 


<cfoutput> 
    #cfhttp.fileContent#
</cfoutput>

and the response is always :

{"success":false,"reason":"The oauth_signature is invalid. That is, it doesn't match the signature computed by the Service Provider.","status":401,"code":1,"subcode":12,"trace":"3d874587-072b-4877-b27e-b84ee2e2b537"}

does somebody have idea about what could be this error ??

url and login info are real for who wants to help by testing

Thank you..

    Don’t disclose your username & password in public forums. Better you change this user name & password after this issue completion 🙂

    Your oauth_signature is 36da2ea8-10fb-48cc-aaa4-c17c551c6b87& not “36da2ea8-10fb-48cc-aaa4-c17c551c6b87%26“

    I got the success response & it is working perfectly.

    <cfhttp  
            method="post"  
            url="https://external.ningapis.com/xn/rest/mbdevsite/1.0/Token"
            username="devshare@megabase.tn"
            password="mbdev2011"> 
        <cfhttpparam type="header" name="content-type" value="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
        <cfhttpparam name="oauth_signature_method" type="FormField" value="PLAINTEXT"/> 
        <cfhttpparam name="oauth_consumer_key" type="FormField" value="741ab68b-63fb-4949-891c-9e88f5143034"/>
        <cfhttpparam name="oauth_signature" type="FormField" value="36da2ea8-10fb-48cc-aaa4-c17c551c6b87&"/>  
    </cfhttp>
