Review jQuery based popup to Twitter login page. This same usage should be reviewed for Google as well in hopes it won't be blocked by pop up blockers anymore. Examples as follows.

Requesting profile data fails due to an issue on Twitters end it would seam. Authentication is completely working, but is non-usable as not possible to grab profile data needed for registration.

Profile data retrieval worked with the below.

https://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.json?user_id=USER_ID

However, this is version 1.0 usage which is scheduled to be retired. Version 1.1 refuses to authenticate even though is signed properly.

The request was being forced as POST due to populating CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS. Parameters are now appended after base encoding and authentication established to the URL directly. Request is now guaranteed GET. Is now working and returning data.
