[2.0] using OAUTH 1.0 to access Yahoo APIs

[MG]

Hello - I am trying to retrieve data from Yahoo APIs using OAUTH 1.0. I am able to get the user to authorize the data access and get the access token. However, I am stuck after that step. Yahoo requires requests to be signed with SHA-1 and I am unable to send a properly signed request. Here is the URI that I am trying to access:"http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/me/guid"

A couple of options I have tried:
1) Use the OAuthCalculator class to sign: WS.url(GuidURL).sign(OAuthCalculator(KEY, t)).get()
When I do this, the app never gets back any result and shows a blank screen.

2) Sign the header my self using the Crypto library. Should I just retrieve the WSRequestHolder.headers and sign it?

Can you please point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Looking at the play source code, it looks like using OAuthCalculator is the right approach to sign a request. And I figured out why the application crashes when I uses. Apparently Yahoo is sending back an incorrectly formed response that cannot be handled by the play server. Here is the log message:

Waiting for a promise, but got an error: "utf-8"
java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: "utf-8"

Is there a work-around or a solution to this issue? Thanks.

Hi, i have the same problem, did oyou resolev it?

Unfortunately not yet. Somebody pointed out that it is a bug in the Netty library that Play uses. Apparently, it has been fixed in the library, but it has not made it to the Play repo. I am thinking of downloading the updated Netty library directly, but not sure how to do it.

Did you come up with any workaround?

Sorry, the bug is not in the Netty library, but the Async Http Client (https://github.com/sonatype/async-http-client/issues/52)
