Bug #67650 getRequestToken must send POST requests by default
Submitted: 2014-07-18 15:02 UTC Modified: 2014-08-01 14:10 UTC

Description:
------------
The OAuth 1.0 specification RFC 5849 requires an OAuth client to send the request for temporary credentials via POST:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5849#section-2.1

> The client obtains a set of temporary credentials from the server by
> making an authenticated (Section 3) HTTP "POST" request to the
> Temporary Credential Request endpoint

Unfortunately, the oauth extension defaults to GET in OAuth::getRequestToken() when an auth type other than OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_FORM is used, e.g. OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_AUTHORIZATION.


This issue was once fixed in bug #59379, but broken again by datibbaw in revision 308375:

http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pecl/oauth/trunk/oauth.c?revision=308375&view=markup

(I suspect he wanted to fix a broken test.)

Expected result:
----------------
OAuth::getRequestToken() uses a POST request for all auth types.

Actual result:
--------------
OAuth::getRequestToken() uses GET request when auth type is OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_AUTHORIZATION

getRequestToken() must define a default method, which is POST, if none is explicitly given.

Log: Fixed #67650 - getRequestToken must send POST requests by default

getRequestToken() must use POST by default (unless overridden)

This was fixed with 59379, but then I broke it again later =((

Please try the trunk version and let me know if you encounter any further issues.

It works: getRequestToken sends POST by default, but I still can override it.

There is now another issue, though:

getAccessToken() also defaults to POST according to the RFC section 2.3 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5849#section-2.3 :

> The client obtains a set of token credentials from the server by
> making an authenticated (Section 3) HTTP "POST" request to the Token
> Request endpoint (unless the server advertises another HTTP request
> method for the client to use).

The PHP OAuth extension defaults to GET here. This needs to be fixed, too.

oauth works fine now with atlassian jira, without requiring me to change the HTTP methods manually.
