Answer 1

I have the exact same problem with a Python program.

POST https://www.twitter.com/oauth/request_token

Request headers are similar to this:

headers= {'Authorization': 'OAuth oauth_nonce="4df3da1d-18e1-4ea7-a9ac-03374483d6f2", oauth_timestamp="1486140325", oauth_version="1.0", oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1", oauth_consumer_key="*****************", oauth_callback="http%3A%2F%example.com%3A8888%2Fauth%2Ftwitter", oauth_signature="***********************"'}

Result:

tornado.httpclient.HTTPError: HTTP 599: Timeout
