LinkedIn login failing: OAuth callback URL was not confirmed

I have got LinkedIn login functionality on my website. However, last week it stopped working, en has not worked since. At first I believed it was maintenance, but since it has been a week and I can not find anything about the api being down, I decided to ask about it.

With a little tinkering I was able to get the following error:

Your_LinkedIn_Network_Will_Be_Back_Soon. We\\'re getting things cleaned up. We\\'ll be back soon.

Also: OAuth callback URL was not confirmed by the LinkedIn end-point

Url: http://api.linkedin.com/uas/oauth/requestToken?scope=r_basicprofile+r_emailaddress+rw_nus

Any idea as to what is going wrong? I tried the LinkedIn dev forum, but that is overrun with spam..

It turns out, that the urls used to perform de CURL requests, all had http. However, linkedin probably changed this, now the only thing that works is urls with https.

In short: Replace all linkedin urls with https urls
