For getting rid of the page not found, remove '/' before '?'

https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?client_id=75gq3kju41jx44&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2FSocial%2Flinkedin%2Fsettings&scope=r_basicprofile%2Cw_share&response_type=code&state=1436579926-c05e44

LinkedIn's OAuth 2.0 authorization endpoint is: 

https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization # <-- no '/' at the end

There is no trailing slash in it. You should remove the trailing slash from your request url and it should work.

Final request url:

https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?client_id=75gq3kju41jx44&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2FSocial%2Flinkedin%2Fsettings&scope=r_basicprofile%2Cw_share&response_type=code&state=1436579926-c05e44
