How to use the Yahoo! API with the oauth-php library?

I'm currently trying to use the Yahoo API directly with php. I already use the oauth-php library with some Google API and it works like a charm.

But the yahoo API don't like authorization headers which oauth-php uses. I see the PECL Oauth has an option to select how the authorization parameter is sent but can't find any equivalent in the almost non-existent documentation of oauth-php. So my question is: is it possible to select this method with oauth-php o开发者_如何转开发r should I start working on some patch ?

Edit: changed the title to reflect what the root cause of the problem was.

In case it can help another lost soul I got it at last. So Oauth-php stores tokens in a varchar(64) field in the oauth_consumer_token table. At least, in the downloadable r175 version; it was changed to varchar(255) in the r188 source of the installer.

But Yahoo!'s token are a lot longer than that (790 bytes at least) which means you have to change the table structure to have the colum oct_token as TEXT. And to do that, you have to drop a foreign key then an index.

Modified library/store/mysql/mysql.sql :

# Datamodel for OAuthStoreMySQL
#
# You need to add the foreign key constraints for the user ids your are using.
# I have commented the constraints out, just look for 'usa_id_ref' to enable them.
#
# The --SPLIT-- markers are used by the install.php script

Well, after some time messing around the authorization header was not the problem. Using some google oauth parameters (xoauth_displayname) for a yahoo one was. But while looking around the oauth-php lib (r175) I got to see a parameter in OAuthRequestSigner::getQueryString which is not used but give the possibility to get the headers in the query.

So, in case someone need this but not for the reason I tried it, you can modify OAuthRequester.php like that.

• Line 149: add

  $auth_header = true;
  if(isset($options['auth_header']) && !$options['auth_header']){
    $auth_header = false;
  }
  

• Line 164: replace $text = $oauth->curl_raw($curl_options, $auth_header); by $text = $oauth->curl_raw($curl_options, $auth_header);
• Line 300: replace protected function curl_raw ( $opts = array() ) by protected function curl_raw ( $opts = array(), $auth_header = true )
• Line 317: replace $query = $this->getQueryString() by $query = $this->getQueryString($auth_header);

Example of call:

$token = OAuthRequester::requestRequestToken($consumer_key, $user_id, $getAuthTokenParams, 'POST', array('auth_header' => FALSE));
