I know it's kinda besides the point and I don't know what language this was being done in, but I don't personally know any language where

    String signature = "POST" + "\n" + "/api/v1/..."
and

    String signature = "POST\n/api/v1/..."
don't result in identical variables, so I'm a bit puzzled why that would result in an error.

However, there's a quoting error in the failing example where the double quotes in the JSON body aren't properly escaped:

    String signature = "POST" + "\n" + "/api/v1/query" + "\n" + token + "\n" + timestamp + "\n" + "{"body":"content"}"
It may just be the example that's not correctly formatted, but the other (working) example does in fact escape the double quotes in the JSON. I guess, depending on how forgiving the used language is with quoting, that could also be the source of the error?

Yeah, I'm stuck here.

Another thing that's really broken is the last string with unescaped quotes.

Not sure how to interpret that unless theres a `:` (colon) operator.
