Ok, I'm glad that I'm not the only one with this problem. Obviously there are not that many people using oauth. So it seems to be not much of a problem for the OSM developers.

But I would greatly appreciate, if someone could fix the oauth mechanism. Or do i have to use another signature methode? Any hint? 

Thank you very much in advance
