Looking at the Ruby code for rpc_client.rb shows the signature being calculated using the secret key and the encoded parameter string. The signature parameter is added after the calculation. `normalized = normalize(params) canonicalized = canonicalize(normalized) string_to_sign = "#{method}&#{encode('/')}&#{encode(canonicalized)}" key = self.access_key_secret + '&' signature = Base64.encode64(OpenSSL::HMAC.digest('sha1', key, s +tring_to_sign)).strip normalized.push(['Signature', encode(signature)])` [download] poj	[reply] [d/l]

`Specified signature is not matched with our calculation.` Does that sound to you as if the other side is expecting a random string? Consider actually reading the documentation of the API instead of trying to send random data.	[reply] [d/l]
