Formatting Request Header Values

Trying to figure out if I need to escape characters in my header value. Much like the example belowif I'm sending a header authorization over for OAuth to a server resource:

“PUT /api/v1/articles/6.json HTTP/1.1\r\nAccept: /\r\nUser-Agent: OAuth gem v0.4.5\r\nContent-Length: 9\r\nContent-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\nAuthorization: OAuth oauth_consumer_key=\”nMu4u9pLRfDrxhPVK5yn\“, oauth_nonce=\”5346IG1e5bV3ytQwdFqkP8Rgr0VJiA9Xb4FE0\“, oauth_signature=\”64545G%2Byp%2F2BsqJ%2BUUgbjIIIV9E%3D\“, oauth_signature_method=\”HMAC-SHA1\“, oauth_timestamp=\”1330022891\“, oauth_token=\”ivouGxpsJbyIU5viPKOO\“, oauth_version=\”1.0\“\r\nConnection: close\r\nHost: someHostNameHere\r\n\r\n”

Right now I'm sending it (the value portion for my Authorization collection) over as one big string like this for my value for the authorization key:

"OAuth oauth_consumer_key=Mu4u9pLRfDrxhPVK5y, oauth_nonce=5346IG1e5bV3ytQwdFqkP8Rgr0VJiA9Xb4FE0, oauth_signature=64545G%2Byp%2F2BsqJ%2BUUgbjIIIV9E%3D, oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1, oauth_timestamp=1330022891, oauth_token=ivouGxpsJbyIU5viPKOO, oauth_version=1.0"

Here's how I would do it:

var url = "https://somedomain.com/resource/v1/";
var request = WebRequest.Create(url) as HttpWebRequest;
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "text/xml";
var oAuthHeader = "OAuth oauth_consumer_key=Mu4u9pLRfDrxhPVK5y, oauth_nonce=5346IG1e5bV3ytQwdFqkP8Rgr0VJiA9Xb4FE0, oauth_signature=64545G%2Byp%2F2BsqJ%2BUUgbjIIIV9E%3D, oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1, oauth_timestamp=1330022891, oauth_token=ivouGxpsJbyIU5viPKOO, oauth_version=1.0";
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", oAuthHeader);
var response = request.GetResponse();

Not sure why you would want to construct your own raw HttpRequest. Obviously you would call some function to generate your OAuth header values, this is demonstrative only.
