Hi John,
This is a just a guess since I haven't used that library: when you're
running in GAE, urllib (which the linkedin lib uses) is actually a wrapper
for GAE's URL Fetch. GAE's URL Fetch removes some headers and adds others.
If any of those headers are included in generating the checksum, then that
would be your problem.

Hiya,
I'm a bit of a newbie, so I apologize if the answer to this question is
obvious. I'm having a bit of trouble using the python linkedin library (
http://code.google.com/p/python-linkedin/).
When I attempt to use the library from an interactive Python interpreter,
it works great:
import sys; print('%s %s' % (sys.executable or sys.platform, sys.version))
/Library/Frameworks/Python.
framework/Versions/2.5/**Resources/Python.app/Contents/**MacOS/Python
2.5.4 (r254:67917, Dec 23 2008, 14:57:27)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)]
KEY = xx
SECRET = xxx
RETURN_URL =
http://localhost:8080/**settings/linkedin/returnhttp://localhost:8080/settings/linkedin/return
from linkedin import linkedin
api = linkedin.LinkedIn(KEY, SECRET, RETURN_URL)
result = api.requestToken()
print result
True
print api.getRequestTokenError()
None
However, when I wrap a Google App Engine webapp.RequestHandler around it, I
get an error:
from linkedin import linkedin
from google.appengine.ext import webapp
from google.appengine.ext.webapp.**util import run_wsgi_app
class LinkedInSettings(webapp.**RequestHandler):
def get(self):
KEY =
SECRET =
RETURN_URL =
http://localhost:8080/**settings/linkedin/returnhttp://localhost:8080/settings/linkedin/return
api = linkedin.LinkedIn(KEY, SECRET, RETURN_URL)
result = api.requestToken()
print result
print api.getRequestTokenError()
application = webapp.WSGIApplication([('/settings/linkedin.*',
LinkedInSettings)])
def main():
run_wsgi_app(application)
if __name__ == __main__:
main()
This a request to http://localhost:8080/settings/linkedin will print out:
False
signature_invalid
Status: 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Cache-Control: no-cache
Expires: Fri, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT
Content-Length: 0
Have anyone ever encountered this behavior before? Do you happen to have
any ideas as to what is going on that might explain why the signature is
valid when the code is executed from the interpreter, but invalid when
executed within the webapp.RequestHandler class?
Thank you for time,
Regards,
John
