Twitter OAuth in F#

I have a few F# demos which use the Twitter APIs as simple examples of accessing online data interactively and working with it in F#.    Recently, Twitter moved to require OAuth for accessing Twitter APIs on behalf of a user.  Below is the F# code I wrote to integrate OAuth, which should work for any other F# Twitter scripts and apps.

OAuth Implementation
 open System
open System.IO
open System.Net
open System.Security.Cryptography
open System.Text

// Twitter OAuth Constants
let consumerKey : string = failwith "Must provide the consumerKey for an app registered at https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new"
let consumerSecret : string = failwith "Must provide the consumerSecret for an app registered at https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new"
let requestTokenURI = "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token"
let accessTokenURI = "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token"
let authorizeURI = "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize"


// Utilities
let unreservedChars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789-_.~";
let urlEncode str = 
    String.init (String.length str) (fun i -> 
        let symbol = str.[i]
        if unreservedChars.IndexOf(symbol) = -1 then
            "%" + String.Format("{0:X2}", int symbol)
        else
            string symbol)


// Core Algorithms
let hmacsha1 signingKey str = 
    let converter = new HMACSHA1(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(signingKey : string))
    let inBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(str : string)
    let outBytes = converter.ComputeHash(inBytes)
    Convert.ToBase64String(outBytes)

let compositeSigningKey consumerSecret tokenSecret = 
    urlEncode(consumerSecret) + "&" + urlEncode(tokenSecret)

    httpMethod + "&" + 
    urlEncode(baseUri) + "&" +
    (queryParameters 
     |> Seq.sortBy (fun (k,v) -> k)
     |> Seq.map (fun (k,v) -> urlEncode(k)+"%3D"+urlEncode(v))

let createAuthorizeHeader queryParameters =

    Luke, I checked your code, oAuth returns a 401 error, I had retrieved the token secret and the other details, it still throws some exception. -Fahad

    I'm seeing the same issue. Works when no query parameters are used. 401 errors when I use a query parameter.
