Hi,

I am developing a rummble client based on libRest. After successfull
authentication while trying to get user info I am getting this
response.

<response status="fail"><code>100</code><message>Invalid API Key</
message></response>

I can see from wireshack that all required parameters are sent.

Request Method: GET
Request URI: http://api.rummble.com/?method=user%2EgetInfo&version=1%2E0
Request Version: HTTP/1.1
Host: api.rummble.com\r\n
[truncated] Authorization: OAuth realm="",
oauth_timestamp="1279622732",
oauth_consumer_key="f7xqub5vwbabx8g5zcjwyzum", oauth_version="1.0",
oauth_nonce="1989421765", oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1",
oauth_token="09d4545682287903225ed85

Any idea what is the problem with this request? Anbody worked with
rummble client using libRest earlier?

Thanks in Advance
Praveen

It may be because a present limitation of our API proxy Mashery, which
doesn't handle OAUTH parameters in the HTTP header. If you could send
them as normal HTTP parameters and see if you still get the problem?

Praveen,

You may want to try again as we have made a change with our API proxy
which means OAuth parameters in the HTTP header will work now.

Hope that solves your issue,

Clive
