    copied!<p>I have a weird problem with Flickr OAuth on Google App Engine:</p> <p>I'm requesting for oauth token and secret from Flickr using the code attached.. it fails most of time when tested on App Engine.. Flickr returns a page saying</p> <p><strong>"Flickr has the hiccups. We're looking into the problem right now..."</strong></p> <p>At first I thought it might be the problem with Flickr.. but then if I copied the URL into chrome directly, I could get the oauth token and secret.. So I thought it could be the problem with my code fetching the URL.. but in fact, with the same piece of code, I'm also able to get token and secret at <strong>localhost</strong>..</p> <p>Now I'm really confused.. because this used to work perfectly until recently.. is there any update on App Engine dev server that might cause the problem? Please help!!!</p> <pre><code> url = "http://www.flickr.com/services/oauth/request_token" params = { "oauth_timestamp": str(int(time())), "oauth_signature_method": "HMAC-SHA1", "oauth_version": "1.0", "oauth_nonce": sha1(str(random())).hexdigest(), "oauth_callback": API_CALLBACK, "oauth_consumer_key": API_KEY, } # Setup the Consumer with the key-secret given by Flickr consumer = oauth2.Consumer(key=API_KEY, secret=API_SECRET) # Create request req = oauth2.Request(method="GET", url=url, parameters=params) # Create signature signature = oauth2.SignatureMethod_HMAC_SHA1().sign(req, consumer, None) # Add the Signature to the request req['oauth_signature'] = signature h = httplib2.Http() resp, content = h.request(req.to_url(), "GET") </code></pre> <p>Update: I changed the code a little bit, keep requesting if I don't get the token (given a max try allowed). It works... still, it is very annoying that I have to write such work-around. Would appreciate if better alternative is available!</p>
