Ruby HMAC-SHA1 digest creation

hmac-sha1.rb

require 'base64'
require 'cgi'
require 'openssl'

base = 'POST&https%3A%2F%2Fapi.twitter.com%2F1%2Fstatuses%2Fupdate.json&include_entities%3Dtrue%26oauth_consumer_key%3Dxvz1evFS4wEEPTGEFPHBog%26oauth_nonce%3DkYjzVBB8Y0ZFabxSWbWovY3uYSQ2pTgmZeNu2VS4cg%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1318622958%26oauth_token%3D370773112-GmHxMAgYyLbNEtIKZeRNFsMKPR9EyMZeS9weJAEb%26oauth_version%3D1.0%26status%3DHello%2520Ladies%2520%252B%2520Gentlemen%252C%2520a%2520signed%2520OAuth%2520request%2521'

puts CGI.escape(Base64.encode64("#{OpenSSL::HMAC.digest('sha1', key, base)}\n"))

If I may, for anyone that may find this, I tweaked this slightly to make it work the same as is being described in the Twitter API docs here (which I believe the original author had also been following along with a couple years ago):

puts Base64.encode64(OpenSSL::HMAC.digest('sha1', key, base))
