OAuth and Methods with Parameters says "Invalid Signature"

Hi,

I got OAuth working to the point that I can do requests to methods without parameters.
For example, I can call "smugmug.users.getTree" and I get a result. Whenever I try to add a parameter (e.g. Extras=ImageCount") to a request, I get "Invalid Signature". I tried every possible combination of generating the base_string, nothing is working. I've even read the official RFC specs about OAuth. My base_string seems good to me. I have clearly overlooked something. If anyone sees something, I would really appreciate your help.

Here is what is working:
BASE_STRING (I added New Lines for readability purpose):
GET&https%3A%2F%2Fapi.smugmug.com%2Fservices%2Fapi%2Fjson%2F1.3.0%2F&
method%3Dsmugmug.users.getTree%26
oauth_consumer_key%3DZATFDe0SJ2h4UuOyD7NL0UZ1DQokFivH%26
oauth_nonce%3DF0A7BB13-FCFB-4C0D-A32C-783DADA1766A%26
oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26
oauth_timestamp%3D1378109752%26
oauth_token%3Dfdb73b19a9a10b7d2afb021c2de6a898%26
oauth_version%3D1.0

Authorization Header (I added New Lines for readability purpose):
realm="https://api.smugmug.com/",
method="smugmug.users.getTree",
oauth_consumer_key="ZATFDe0SJ2h4UuOyD7NL0UZ1DQokFivH",
oauth_nonce="F0A7BB13-FCFB-4C0D-A32C-783DADA1766A",
oauth_signature="0VFFu%2BnSb8waKqqNz4XR5G5%2BUng%3D",
oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1",
oauth_timestamp="1378109752",
oauth_token="fdb73b19a9a10b7d2afb021c2de6a898",
oauth_version="1.0"

Here is what is NOT working:
BASE_STRING (I added New Lines for readability purpose):
GET&https%3A%2F%2Fapi.smugmug.com%2Fservices%2Fapi%2Fjson%2F1.3.0%2F&

Thanks.

    All right, I just solved my own problem!

    For those interested, here is what you should be doing:

    BASE_STRING:
    GET&https%3A%2F%2Fapi.smugmug.com%2Fservices%2Fapi%2Fjson%2F1.3.0%2F&
    [COLOR="Red"]Extras%3DImageCount%26
    method%3Dsmugmug.users.getTree%26[/COLOR]
    oauth_consumer_key%3DZATFDe0SJ2h4UuOyD7NL0UZ1DQokFivH%26
    oauth_nonce%3D614B39B4-6F41-4D11-A9DB-2553AD4BC495%26
    oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26
    oauth_timestamp%3D1378109612%26
    oauth_token%3Dfdb73b19a9a10b7d2afb021c2de6a898%26
    oauth_version%3D1.0
    

    OAUTH Header:
    OAuth realm="https://api.smugmug.com/",
    oauth_consumer_key="ZATFDe0SJ2h4UuOyD7NL0UZ1DQokFivH",
    oauth_nonce="9990C193-CA02-469E-9DDE-B1D41CBE9451",
    oauth_signature="QgQcCrb5%2BtgSxKzDlWxPMjBF2po%3D",
    oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1",
    oauth_timestamp="1378113081",
    oauth_token="fdb73b19a9a10b7d2afb021c2de6a898",
    oauth_version="1.0"
    

    Query String URL:
    https://api.smugmug.com/services/api/json/1.3.0/?[COLOR="Red"]method=smugmug.users.getTree&Extras=ImageCount[/COLOR]
    

    I was encoding my parameters (Extras + method) WITHING the OAuth Header: WRONG!

    You should be providing SmugMug parameters to create the Base String AND through the query string. Period.

    Hope it helps someone!

    BTW, I solved my problem using the AMAZING online tool from Google : http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/code/javascript/example/signature.html
