Twitter Timestamp out of bounds [solved]

Some time ago, automatic sending of status updates from one of my applications stopped working. I haven't changed anything on the server, so this was strange. Looking into error message from Twitter:

[request] => /1/statuses/update_with_media.json
[error] => Timestamp out of bounds

well, that's strange. I recall time was moved to DST (daylight savings) Summer time in US recently, and apparently so did Twitter's servers. The rest of the world - bah, they don't seem to be interested, they can barely run the servers for US users apparently.

So, until DST change comes to the rest of the world, we need a hack. At first I thought that Twitter does not like timestamps to be in the future, so I thought about decreasing the timestamp of tweets. That did not work. So, I tried to increase the timestamp and everything is working now. The change is quite simple, just increase OAuth oauth_timestamp by a couple of hours and you're done. In PHP OAuth client it looks like this (I added 5 hours):

private static function generate_timestamp() {
    return time()+5*3600;
}
