Hi Yaswath,

While you might have something else wrong additionally, I'll make a couple
quick points:

a) the URL (and all REST resource URLs) should have a version: you want
https://api.twitter.com/1/account/verify_credentials.xml -- if you don't put
the version there, your code will stop working completely one day. Without a
version there today, you'll get weird behavior.

b) Your OAuth query parameters includes an oauth_verifier -- you should only
send this parameter to the oauth/access_token step and discard it -- by
including it in the request here, you may be invalidating it.

If it's possible for you to use HTTP header-based OAuth, I would highly
recommend favoring it over this query string approach -- header-based auth
is generally easier to debug and easier to get right.

Finally, access tokens can be manually expired by the end-user at any time;
they don't intrinsically have an expiration time though.
