Hi William,

Thanks a lot for your reply. My request (I've revoked the OAuth
credentials) is

Header data: {
    Accept = "application/json";
    "Accept-Encoding" = "gzip, deflate";
    "Accept-Language" = "en-us";
    Authorization = "OAuth realm=\"https://api.launchpad.net/\
",oauth_consumer_key=\"Chris-Wilson-App-Key\",oauth_token=\"5CxXHrFKqn1fWsWMKXXH\",oauth_signature_method=\"PLAINTEXT\",oauth_signature=\"%26BVjq9NlhL1rH8FW8Fg1LM3kNskcQxFFhlh3pM5X6JXjcT8CJhNtJp5PGqVF6TZS3VKdNLqPk8NnmtZbz\",oauth_timestamp=\"1363127374\",oauth_nonce=\"xOUnK7gEirDkNuYE7hepGnaV24r6xTfp\",oauth_version=\"1.0\"";
    "Content-Type" = "application/json";
}
