What I have tried:
Public Function makeRequest(ByVal query As String)
Dim requestResult As String = ""
oauth_nonce = setNounce()
oauth_timestamp = setTimeStamp()
Dim oauth_signature As String = getSignature(oauth_consumer_key, oauth_nonce, oauth_timestamp, oauth_token, consumer_secret, oauth_token_secret, query)
Dim headerFormat As String = "OAuth oauth_nonce=""{0}"", oauth_signature_method=""{1}"", oauth_timestamp=""{2}"", oauth_consumer_key=""{3}"", oauth_token=""{4}"", oauth_signature=""{5}"", oauth_version=""{6}"""
Dim authHeader As String = String.Format(headerFormat, Uri.EscapeDataString(oauth_nonce), Uri.EscapeDataString(oauth_signature_method), Uri.EscapeDataString(oauth_timestamp), Uri.EscapeDataString(oauth_consumer_key), Uri.EscapeDataString(oauth_token), Uri.EscapeDataString(oauth_signature), Uri.EscapeDataString(oauth_version))
ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = False
Dim request As WebRequest
Dim response As HttpWebResponse
Dim streamReader As System.IO.StreamReader
Dim encode As Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8")
request = WebRequest.Create(requestUrl & "?" & reqParam(query))
request.Timeout = -1
request .Headers.Add("Authorization", authHeader)
Try
response = DirectCast(request.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
streamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream(), True)
requestResult = streamReader.ReadLine()
request.Abort()
streamReader.Close()
streamReader = Nothing
response.Close()
response = Nothing
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message, MsgBoxStyle.Critical)
End Try
Return requestResult
End Function
