I am having trouble connecting to the Evernote API using the OAuth wrapper bundled with Play 2.6.10 WS.
I am currently using sbt 0.13.15, Oracle JDK 1.8, and Scala 2.12.3.
The relevant piece of code from my OAuth Play controller:
import play.api.libs.oauth._
val KEY = ConsumerKey("KEY", "SECRET")
val EVERNOTE = OAuth(
ServiceInfo(
"https://sandbox.evernote.com/oauth",
"https://sandbox.evernote.com/oauth",
"https://sandbox.evernote.com/OAuth.action",
key = KEY
),
use10a = false
)
// Step 1: Request temporary token
EVERNOTE.retrieveRequestToken(CALLBACK_URL) match {
case Right(t: RequestToken) =>
// Step 2: Request user authorization; pass temporary token from Step 1
// Also, store temporary token and secret for later use
Redirect(EVERNOTE.redirectUrl(t.token)).withSession("token" -> t.token, "secret" -> t.secret)
// TODO: check this out!
case Left(e) => throw e
}
The application crashes due to the exception thrown from the Either returned by retrieveRequestToken. The exact exception is:
OAuthCommunicationException: Communication with the service provider failed: Service provider responded in error: 411 (Length Required)
After some snooping around, it seems as if this issue is common in OAuth and requires the POST request headers to contain a Content-Length (typically set to 0). Example: Why I get 411 Length required error?. But as far as I can tell, Play WS does not expose this option from Signpost (OAuth library under the hood), so I was not able to try this solution.
Of course, I may be overlooking something here. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? I just want to make sure before creating a new issue on the WS repo.
Thanks.
