Problems with OAuth on node.js

Question

I am trying to get OAuth to work on node.js. I found this in the documentation of node-oauth:

var OAuth= require(\'oauth\').OAuth;
var oa = new OAuth(requestUrl,

An update to post tweet to user timeline:

@mattmcmanus, Extending @mattmcmanus nice answer, I would like to post a tweet to timeline. For this, I am using the same code as mattcmanus given above.

Step 1:

oa.getOAuthRequestToken(function(error, oauth_token, oauth_token_secret, results){
  if (error) new Error(error.data)
  else {
    req.session.oauth.token = oauth_token
    req.session.oauth.token_secret = oauth_token_secret
    res.redirect('https://twitter.com/oauth/authenticate?oauth_token='+oauth_token)
   }
}); 

Step 2:

app.get('/oauth/callback', function(req, res, next){
      if (req.session.oauth) {
        req.session.oauth.verifier = req.query.oauth_verifier
        var oauth = req.session.oauth

        oa.getOAuthAccessToken(oauth.token,oauth.token_secret,oauth.verifier, 
          function(error, oauth_access_token, oauth_access_token_secret, results){
            if (error) new Error(error){
            console.log(results.screen_name)
            }else{

                // NEW CODE TO POST TWEET TO TWITTER
                oa.post(
                "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json",
                oauth_access_token, oauth_access_token_secret,
                {"status":"Need somebody to love me! I love OSIpage, http://www.osipage.com"},
                function(error, data) {
                    if(error) console.log(error)
                    else console.log(data)
                }
               );
               // POST TWEET CODE ENDS HERE

            }
        }
      );
    } else
      next(new Error('No OAuth information stored in the session. How did you get here?'))
    });

I have added oauth_access_token & oauth_access_token_secret in commented code. This will post a tweet update to user's timeline. Happy tweeting!!!
