Wrong signature for query string with duplicate parameter keys

[wtrv]

When sending a request which uses a query containing duplicate parameter keys, the signature is incorrectly generated.

eg. ?parameter=myvalue&paramter=myvalue2

This is being caused by the usage of "http_build_query" instead of the Guzzle "build_query" function in "createBaseString".

I ran into the same issue today but for POST parameters with multiple values. For anyone experiencing this as well, here's how I fixed it.

1. Override the createBaseString method

Create a new class that extends the Oauth1 class from this package, and override the createBaseString method (which is only protected, not private) to use Query::build() instead of http_build_query(). This way the repeated parameters are encoded without [].

<?php

namespace YourNamespace;

use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Query;
use Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface;

final class OAuth1 extends GuzzleHttp\Subscriber\Oauth\Oauth1
{
    protected function createBaseString(RequestInterface $request, array $params): string
    {
        $url = (string) $request->getUri()->withQuery('');
        $query = Query::build($params);

        return strtoupper($request->getMethod())
            . '&' . rawurlencode($url)
            . '&' . rawurlencode($query);
    }
}

Note: This may not work if you are still using Guzzle v6. In that case you can try the older \GuzzleHttp\Psr7\build_query() function instead of Query::build() but I cannot confirm that it fixes the issue.

Use this child class instead of GuzzleHttp\Subscriber\Oauth\Oauth1 as middleware in the Guzzle HandlerStack.

2. Build the POST body yourself instead of using form_params

If you're sending a POST request with content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded and you're using the form_params option to define the form data, Guzzle will encode it with [] for repeated parameters.

To avoid this, use the body option instead and encode the POST data yourself using Query::build(...). See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69411391/is-there-a-way-to-prevent-guzzle-from-appending-to-field-names-with-multiple

For example:

$formData = [
  'parameter' => ['value1', 'value2'],
];

$options = [
  'headers' => ['content-type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'],
  'body' => Query::build($formData),
];

$response = $this->httpClient->request('POST', 'https://...', $options);

3. Make sure parameters with multiple values are sorted by their string value

In my case I had to send multiple integer values for the same parameter. To make sure the generated signature is correct, you need to sort them by their string value.

For example:

$parameter = [3, 222, 10];
sort($parameter, SORT_STRING); // Result: [10, 222, 3];
$formData = ['parameter' => $p];

$options = [
  'headers' => ['content-type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'],
  'body' => Query::build($formData),
];

$response = $this->httpClient->request('POST', 'https://...', $options);
