Re: Brackets in LWP Post

Further arguments can be given to initialize the headers of the request. These are given as separate name/value pairs.

You are POSTing with the wrong headers: you are giving a meaningless hashref whereas it should be dereferenced to provide name/value pairs. (that said, I can not say if all else is OK)

    return $ua->post(
        $self->{'auth'}->api_url_base . 'shares',
        Content => encode_json($json),
        %$header, #<<<<<
    );

You are POSTing with the wrong headers: Fabulous! You are spot on...dereferencing `$header` makes it work as it should :) Many, many thanks. Bizarrely, the hashref worked to authorise a GET call to a different endpoint to fetch information about the current user. I used that to check that the headers were being passed correctly. Strange how it works for a GET but not a POST.	[reply] [d/l]

Bizarrely, the hashref worked to authorise a GET call that's strange because LWP::UserAgent says that they all use the same notation to pass the headers: `Additional headers and content options are the same as for the "get" in LWP::UserAgent method.` anyway, cool project!	[reply] [d/l]
