could not GET /v2/me: %w

Error message

could not GET /v2/me: %w

What it means

Wrapped error in getProfileIDLegacy: the HTTP round trip for GET /v2/me failed at the transport level (DNS, TLS, connection). The %w chain carries the net/http client error; LinkedIn API semantics errors are handled separately by status code below.

// getProfileIDLegacy returns the Current Member's ID
