Hello everyone,
I am having a HUGE problem and I am in desperate need of quick help.
How would I transfer "access tokens" between an ASP page and a Cold Fusion
page?
Ever see the login on AOL Anywhere? That's what I have to create.
THE PROCESS:
1. The user clicks on a login button that send them to the AOL server.
2. The AOL server logs them in & sends our site an access token
3. Our site returns the access token for validation.
4. AOL validates and returns the profile information I will use to Insert or
Update the user in my database.
I can do the queries to update & all that. I'm having trouble getting
started on the concept of transferring the token back & forth.
Of course, AOL has no CF partners before us. So there's no one to compare
code with and no CF expertise at AOL to help me.
THE REST OF THE SITUATION:
I was laid off from my job on Friday (this is not the real problem, only part
of the situation). I am trying to finish a major project for them even
though I'm not getting paid for a LOT of reasons, but mostly to keep my
former boss from jumping in front of a train (if this doesn't get done he
can't even sell the remnants of the company & try to salvage something for
our investors).
I believe I am capable of this level of programming, but have HUGE gaps in my
knowledge (we have a very robust and fully functional registration process
that I created on my own, but it won't accommodate the AOL fields and tokens)
I do have a new job and I start soon (could be there now it this wasn't
hanging over my head).
So if anyone already has functional code that I could emulate or learn from
to get this done I would be eternally grateful (and could keep my boss from
jumping -- I say that as a joke but I'm not so sure what the outcome will be
if I fail at this ...)
Anyhow, I know this is a long and rambling message. But it certainly
reflects my panic.
