Rest Debugger: Cannot convert access token to JSON

I have this webservice with OAuth2 authentication. I need to create a client for it in Delphi, so I'm using the "Rest Debugger", a tool from Embarcadero that helps configuring rest clients.
Problem is, I get the Bearer token from my webservice by other means, I add it in the headers (picture below), but the application returns "Cannot convert access token to JSON".
I know the token is valid, as I'm able to use it in other clients or tools (Postman, Swagger), it's just the "Rest Debugger" that gets this error from the server.
I would like to know what I'm doing wrong, or if there's some known issue with this specific tool. I've found some clues that suggests that by default it does some kind of encoding in the headers, but I would like to know for sure from someone more familiar with that tool.
Any help would be much appreciated.
In "REST Debugger" you must check "Do not encode" option when adding the Authorization header.

Content encoding error when using linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization

I'm developer working on integration between our product and LinkedIn. It's been decided we use https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization to authenticate user. I found out the following issue, that I'll explain in detail below.
Positive scenario, everything works as expected:
when using valid client_id, everything is fine. To make everything clear, please see this URL (API key replaced with fake one):
https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=VALID_API_KEY&state=b4ac5e2ab5404d6fad2f25521d83e825&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8085%2Fapply-app%2Fpages%2Fsocial-networks%2Flinkedin%2Fauthenticated%3FsiteIdentifier%3DPIUFK026203F3VBLZ6G79V7OU%26token%3Db4ac5e2ab5404d6fad2f25521d83e825
When I remove client_id, everything is also fine and message is displayed (Missing client_id. A valid client_id is required to proceed.)
But when I use invalid client_id in browser I receive Content Encoding Error and http status code 500. URL: https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=invalid_client_id&state=b4ac5e2ab5404d6fad2f25521d83e825&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8085%2Fapply-app%2Fpages%2Fsocial-networks%2Flinkedin%2Fauthenticated%3FsiteIdentifier%3DPIUFK026203F3VBLZ6G79V7OU%26token%3Db4ac5e2ab5404d6fad2f25521d83e825
And the most interesting part goes here: when I fetch same URL using either wget or even java HttpConnection.connect() there result is different: HTTP status code 200 and html response. But when I started to analyze given output, I noticed that is ends up unexpectedly after <ul class="permissions, so it must me error in your code, that requires fixing.
I reported that, because it's quite inconvenient to support such behavior. Could you please inform me if you have any plans to fix this? If you need any further details regarding steps to reproduce this issue, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,

How to block requests to server with user name / password?

We have realized that this URL http://Keyword:redacted#example.com/ redirects to http://example.com/ when copied and pasted into the browser's address bar.
As far as I understand this might be used in some ftp connections but we have no such use on our website. We are suspecting that we are targeted by an attack and have been warned by Google that we are passing PII (mostly email addresses) in our URL requests to their Google Adsense network. We have not been able to find the source, but we have been warned that the violation is in the form of http://Keyword:redacted#example.com/
How can we stop this from happening?
What URL redirect method we can use to not accept this and return an error message?
FYI I experienced a similar issue for a client website and followed up with Adsense support. The matter was escalated to a specialist team who investigated and determined that flagged violations with the format http://Keyword:redacted#example.com/ will be considered false positives. I'm not sure if this applies to all publishers or was specific to our case, but it might be worth following up with Adsense support.
There is nothing you can do. This is handled entirely by your browser long before it even thinks about "talking" to your server.
That's a strange URL for people to copy/paste into the browser's address bar unless they have been told/trained to do so. Your best bet is to tell them to STOP IT! :-)
I suppose you could look at the HTTP Authorization Headers and report an error if they come in populated... (This would $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] in PHP.) I've never looked at these values when the header doesn't request them, so I'm not sure if it would work or not...
The syntax http://abc:def#something.com means you're sending userid='abc', password='def' as basic authentication parameters. Your browser will pull out the userid & password and send them along as authentication information, leaving the url without them.
As Peter Bowers mentioned, you could check the authorization headers and see if they're coming in that way, but you can't stop others from doing it if they want. If it happens a lot then I'd suspect that somewhere there's a web form asking users to enter their user/password and it's getting encoded that way. One way to sleuth it out would be to see if you can identify someone by the userid specified.
Having Keyword:redacted sounds odd. It's possible Google Adsense changed the values to avoid including confidential info.

OAuth in Jira - 'consumer_key_unknown' while requesting token

I am trying to connect to Jira using OAuth. I have followed this manual and I have created app link in Jira instance and configured it with proper consumer key and public key. When I try to request a token using code from the example I am getting 401 with following message (same for python and perl instance):
oauth_problem=consumer_key_unknown
I am out of ideas what can be wrong. I will appreciate any tips.
Well, I believe that I have configured Application link in the wrong place. I have been somehow navigated to the link wiki/admin/listapplicationlinks.action. Then I accidentally found plugins/servlet/applinks/listApplicationLinks which looked pretty much the same as first but content was different. I have added link to the second location and everything works well now. Sorry for confusion.
I also had this similar error. So I then used different "consumer key"(tried to make this unique) other than the given one in the example manual. After searching a lot in internet about this error, I got to know that as most people are using that same consumer key(given in example manual), a database error occurred due to which this error was thrown.

Does nesting an itms-services URI change behavior of the protocol?

I see the following snippet posted all over the internet:
<a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=http:/oursite.com/myApp.plist" id="text">
Kind of hard to believe that is a standard practice. Is there any difference between itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url= and itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=?
It's a typo, but it doesn't stop the installs working.
Probably because it forms a url like this:
itms-services://
?
action=download-manifest
&
url=itms-services://?action=download-manifest
&
url=http:/oursite.com/myApp.plist
and it's probably taking the last url.
I just ran both through the Charles Web Proxy and the responses (and requests) are identical. (Ignore the 401's - that is the server requesting authentication).
As you can see they both result in the same request.
But, of course this could change in the future Apple updates.
So stick to the single itms-services version.
