I sniffed JOSM communication to spot any difference in the oauth setup.
To my surprise there was no difference, still my requests failed with 401.
So I compared other headers as well. It happened that I did not declare
any content type, so it ended up as application/x-www-form-urlencoded

As the data is actually xml I changed it to Content-Type: text/xml
And surprise: The server now accepts my edits again.
But why did it respond with "401 Authorization Required"? I guess there
are other http status codes more appropriate. Why not "400 Bad Request"?
