Twitter API Get mentions

Question

Im having loads of issues with the Twitter API and GET. Hopefully someone can point out my mistake of help me in the correct direction. I got the POST correct for posting statusses, but i want to get the users mentions, but Im receiving "Could not authenticate with OAuth" the whole time.

Below are all my strings and headers as I set / get it. Please help. :)

Answer 1

Why not take a look at my open source TTwitter library ? Even though this version of the project is now depreciated (I've rolled TTwitter into a larger project to develop more social networking components) it'll still point you in the right direction:)
