I have this very strange issue with using the signpost oauth setHeader
method. Basically, I'm doing:

request.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-
urlencoded");

However, using WireShark to see traffic, 'Content-Type' got converted
it to 'content-type'. Thus, Digg API returned "Invalid content type
for POST request". Anyone know how to solve this?

Also, if it's not too much to ask, would it be possible for the API to
support both lower case and the normal way? This should help with
different browsers and clients. Thanks!

I'm also getting this response now with a JSON API request. I sent an
email to Jeff @ Digg about the error and now I'm waiting for a
response.

Are you building an android application by any chance? Seems like this
issue happens for android applications.

Nope, Palm webOS :) It's Javascript based so all this OAuth and POST
stuff is a little tricky, it seems.

Ah this is the case. We only accept 'Content-Type' rather than an all lower case 'content-type'. Let me try and fit this in.

I already found a fix for this for java. It was the HttpURLConnection
that caused it. I had to end up using the HttpPost for making the
request.

I think this is the issue I'm having now too. Using Prototype I think
it automatically sets it as 'content-type.' If you can allow it to
accept lowercase, I think I'll finally be able to complete OAuth
requests!
