FWIW, the headers are the third parameter to Net::HTTP#post and should
be a hash like 7stud shows.

boo boo, you seem to be having a difficult time generating a proper
OAuth request, which is why you are getting that error. You are
already requiring the oauth library, I'm curious why you don't just
use that to calculate the signature and set the Authorization header
for you?

  # WARNING: Untested code follows
  @consumer_key    = 'MY KEY'
  @consumer_secret = 'MY SECRET'
  @callback        = 'SITE or oob'

  consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new(
                    @consumer_key, @consumer_secret,
                    :site => 'https://api.twitter.com',
                    :request_token_path => '/oauth/request_token',
                    :authorize_path     => '/oauth/authorize',
                    :access_token_path  => '/oauth/access_token',
                    :http_method => :post)

  request_token = consumer.get_request_token(
                    :oauth_callback => @callback)

  #request token is request_token.params[:oauth_token]
  #request token secret is request_token.params[:oauth_token_secret]

  puts request_token.authorize_url
