Need to add scope query parameter in request token call since "getConnectionsForCurrentUser()" gives an exception.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

When executing "client.getConnectionsForCurrentUser()" I get the following 
error.

Exception in thread "main" 
com.google.code.linkedinapi.client.LinkedInApiClientException: Access to 
connections denied

I think to get access to network updates users should add "scope" query 
parameter as described in this link.
https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/authentication#granting

It says "Simply append the permissions you want granted in your request token 
call using the "scope" query paramter". But I'm not clear on how to add this 
parameter in the authentication process  
http://code.google.com/p/linkedin-j/wiki/GettingStarted , where ca I add the 
scope query parameter?

Thanks,
Charitha.

The only way I figured out to specify the scope parameters in the request token 
call is,

- go to /com/google/code/linkedinapi/client/constant/LinkedInApiUrls.properties 
file in linkedin-j-core-1.0.416.jar

- change the property "com.google.code.linkedinapi.client.oauth.requestToken" 
eg: 
https://api.linkedin.com/uas/oauth/requestToken?scope=r_basicprofile+r_emailaddr
ess+r_network

But this doesn't seem user friendly since we have to hard-code the permission 
level initially. Please let us know if there is another way of doing this.

Thanks,
Charitha.

Please add scope parameter. so that Exception in thread "main" 
com.google.code.linkedinapi.client.LinkedInApiClientException: Access to 
connections denied will get removed
