Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/OAuthSwift/OAuthSwift/issues/302

Description: I get the error

{"errors":[{"code":32,"message":"Could not authenticate you."}]}

when I try to submit a post to http://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json.

Authorization works just fine. I can get tweets for the main timeline. I can get user information. But when I try to call this post I get this error. Here's the call. The auth and oauthswift are exactly as set in the README.md.

oAuthSwift.client.post("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json", parameters: ["body":tweet.urlEscaped], headers: nil, success: nil, failure: nil)

Have you read twitter api?
(For a next issue please give a link to the provider doc, Doc of the request if you can
https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/post/statuses/update)
I don't see any 'body' parameter in the doc for that request

Oh oops that was a typo. It does indeed work when calling that function. However, this fails while using the OAuthSwiftAlamofire framework with that same error message.

provider.manager.request("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json", method: .post, parameters: ["status":tweet.urlEscaped], headers: nil).responseJSON { response in
        print(String(data: response.data!,encoding: .utf8)!)
    }

This returns that same error message. The only thing that differs in the URLRequest being called would be the shouldHandleCookies parameter being true for the AlamoFire adapter version. I edited Alamofire's code to simply change that header and still the same error.

The only thing that differs in the URLRequest being called would be the `shouldHandleCookies` parameter being `true` for the AlamoFire adapter version. I edited Alamofire's code to simply change that header and still the same error.

If OAuthSwift work, you can close this issue
And open one for OAuthSwiftAlamofire (you can add a link to this one)

If you have done some debug ie. break point in adapt(_ urlRequest: URLRequest) throws -> URLRequest { to see original urlRequest and modified one
