InternalOAuthError: failed to fetch user profile

I am aware of this issue: #48

Though I'm not sure if they were having this specific message.

status: 403
message: Request forbidden by administrative rules. Please make sure your request has a User-Agent header (http://developer.github.com/v3/#user-agent-required). Check https://developer.github.com for other possible causes.

But it seems this is different, and only appears on latest versions of node. It's happening when running on versions 5.8.0 and 5.9.1. Before that it had been working for me on version 4.2.4

I'm using version 0.1.5 of passport-github. Version 1.1.0 breaks with: _this.oauth2.useAuthorizationHeaderforGET is not a function so does passport-github2.

Probably, this problem is not specific to passport-github and more related to underlying libraries.

Thanks in advance. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE:

We've finally reach the problem, the actual problem is way more simple. We're using node-trello in our project. Node trello requires a specific version of oauth (0.9.7) and this is a dependency of passport-oauth.

I'm not very familiar with how NPM resolves dependencies, but it seems NPM 2 (node 4x) resolves conflicts by letting everyone have it's own dependency, downloading the latest oauth (0.9.14) for passport-oauth and version 0.9.7 for node-trello.

NPM 3 does not work like this, it seems it allows all packages to an available version, in this case oauth (0.9.7) since node-trello is the one that requried specifically.

The quick solution for us was to simply add oauth (0.9.14) as one of our own project dependencies, I think a version as early as 0.9.11 might be enough though.

So, probably, by looking at the tree, maybe this issue actually belongs in passport-oath, I believe they should specify their dependency on oauth to avoid this sort of problems.
