Useless(?) OAuth error

[malenki]

I keep getting occasionally an error message that OAuth didn't work after my edits were uploaded and the changeset got closed.

Following edits and uploads work fine, too.

What is the point in this?

The cli output starting with creating the changeset:

PUT http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/changeset/create... OK
POST http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/changeset/11970277/upload... OK
PUT http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/changeset/11970277/close... Authorization Required
Error body: Couldn't authenticate you

Hmm. Same OAuth works next time?

I remember another case, where also the close request was different. Compared to the others, the close request is very short, so there is a difference.

Do you have a proxy in between?

Can you try to get a wireshark log of such a failing session?

Yes

No

That is less likely. This message shows up ~each 3 days. So I'd have to monitor all JOSM sessions until this error shows up once more...

Just got it when uploading changeset ​13341592.
It's very disturbing as you may think the changeset has not been uploaded !

Didn't reproduce it in the last 5 years, must be gone.
