Hi,

 

Paul Dragoonis directed me to you with a question about the internals of
PECL OAuth.

 

Upon calling OAuth::getRequestToken() the following Exception is thrown if I
have not explicitely set the request engine using OAuth::setRequestEngine():
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'OAuthException' with message 'making the
request failed (Unsupported protocol)'. 

 

Is this behaviour expected or should the request engine be set to either PHP
Streams/cURL by default?

 

Regards,

Ben Tadiar

Hi,

First off, it would've been better to contact one of the project members
rather than the internals list :)

To answer your question though, I'm assuming that you're accessing a secure
http url, which requires openssl iirc.

Please address any replies to me directly and/or jawed@php.net

Thanks
