(C#) Twitter PIN-Based Authorization (Step 1)

Demonstrates the 1st step in Twitter PIN-based authorization using OAuth. The purpose of this step is to obtain a temporary request token that will be traded for an access token + secret in the final step. Once the access token + secret is obtained, the application can access the Twitter account in whatever ways it was authorized.

Note: The OAuth version 1 functionality demonstrated in this example is available in Chilkat v9.4.0 to be released approximately in mid-December 2012. Pre-releases are available upon request by sending email to support@chilkatsoft.com. (Please be sure to specify your programming language, operating system, framework, architecture, etc. to uniquely identify the build that is needed.)

    // At this point, the end-user needs to browse to the following
    // Twitter URL to log in to his/her Twitter account and get a PIN.
    // 
    // https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authenticate?oauth_token=OAUTH_TOKEN
    // 
    // (where OAUTH_TOKEN is replaced with the contents
    // of the OAuth temporary request token.)

    // Your application may have an embedded browser such
    // that it automatically navigates to the above URL, or it may
    // be necessary for the user to browse to this URL independently.

    // Once the PIN is obtained, your application should provide a means
    // for the end-user to enter it (by typing it into an input text box, for example), 
    // and then Step 2 (the final step) can begin.
