I keep getting 401 when trying to login via Oauth with Twitter.

I'm using twitter_oauth-0.3.3 with oauth-0.3.6 in rails

It used to work perfectly some time ago, so after some digging, I realised it might have something to do with my timezone.

In the headers of the Twitter response, one of them is:

date: 
- Sun, 11 Apr 2010 16:53:34 GMT

Even though the time is actually 17:53:34 BST

I'm assuming the request is signed using BST time, and so it fails.

Anyone had this problem / found a fix for it?
