note 120317 added to oauth.getrequestheader

The documentation does not specify the difference between passing a string and passing an array for the third parameter. We spent two days debugging before reading the C source code to figure out that there is a significant and undocumented difference between the two. "a=1" and array("a" => 1) are handled very differently! If you are making a POST/PUT request (or anything with an entity body) then you should pass that as a string. If you are making a request with a query string, you should pass that as an associative array. If you pass "a=1" intending that to specify the query string, the generated signature will be invalid -- it will process this as if you were POSTing the content "a=1" instead. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 108.210.238.217 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/oauth.getrequestheader.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/120317 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120317/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120317/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120317/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120317/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120317/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120317/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120317 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/120317 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
