Unknown authentication scheme on LinkedIn API

Question

I'm using OAuth 1.0a for LinkedIn API. Currently, I've already implemented some calls for getting the profile and connections and they all seem to work fine. But for sending a message, the oauth library throws an exception with the following:

{
  "errorCode": 0,
  "message": "Unknown authentication scheme",
  "requestId": "I2Y0MFJ8ME",
  "status": 401,
  "timestamp": 1378376573339
}

I'm using PHP PECL OAuth. I'm initializing the $oauth object like this:

$oauth = new OAuth(API_KEY, API_SECRET, OAUTH_SIG_METHOD_HMACSHA1, OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_FORM);
$oauth->setToken(ACCESS_TOKEN, SECRET);

and making the rest call like this:

$url = 'https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/mailbox?format=json';
$content_type = array('Content-Type' => 'application/json');
$oauth->fetch($url, $message, OAUTH_HTTP_METHOD_POST, $content_type);

and $message looks something like this:

$message = Array
(
    [recipients] => Array
        (
            [0] => z2222117O
        )

    [subject] => this is my title
    [body] => this is my body
    [format] => json
    [id] => EAS123123
)

It doesn't look like there's anything wrong with the request. I've followed the instructions from the LinkedIn messaging docs. Anyone else had the same problem? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I have answer the question on the below link, seems the same error. Though it seems different technology, but solution would be same to send the access_token in request back to get the protected resources.
