Hello there,
That’s a really goog article.

I have a question on how to use this script to obtain a signed query but retieving the source code of the specified url. I tried changing the query with the appropriate one in the sample app but i can’t find any solution to retrieve the responded source code of the queried.

Any help on this would really appreciate it!

Thank you very much

Regards,
George

Note for anyone looking to use this function: You need to correctly encode the signature, otherwise plus (+) chars are ignored as spaces:
paramList.push(”oauth_signature=”+encodeURI(theSig));
