Started getting 401/Unauthorized for request_token in last 12 hours
Hi guys, in the last 12 hours all my customers started getting a 401/Unauthorized when my WordPress plugin makes it's call to request_token ( https://api.dropbox.com/1/oauth/request_token)
From the documentation it says that the 401 is returned when you have a stale access token - but I'm getting it when trying to get the request_token..
This code hasn't changed for many months and is not working across many different machines so it appears something has changed on the server but I'm not sure what.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
Bob

Hi Sir,
We also have same issue as calling request_token.
We already opened one ticket to you, please help to check. Many thanks!
When you say it should be fixed do you mean if we re-implement with the oauth1.0 path???

Doug, I'm not sure if I understand your question. This issue was only affecting apps already using OAuth 1, with HMAC-SHA1 signing in particular. The fix should have resolved the issue for these apps without requiring the apps to be updated.
If you're seeing any unexpected errors, please open an API ticket with the details so we can look into it specifically:
