Hi Jeff!
Ok! The application is similar to which you have described.
A web page should show my documents list (the title of the documents)
and each item of the list is a link to the an other web page that
embeds the document content. Everyone should be able to view my list
and the contents (it should be public).
I'll try to explain better my problem :)
To retrive my document list and the documents contents, an external
user has to know my global account's credentials. As you have said i
have embedded them in the code so theoretically everyone can see the
document list... here it is the code:
gd_client = gdata.docs.service.DocsService()
gdata.alt.appengine.run_on_appengine(gd_client)
gd_client.ClientLogin('my-
[EMAIL PROTECTED]','mypassword')
feed = gd_client.GetDocumentListFeed()
Thanks to the feed i can obtain everything about the documents.
The problem is: when someone tries to enter in this web page an error
page occours with this message: Authorization required.
Apparently the application required the user to be logged in. Infact
when i have inserted first of all in the code a login to the app
through the method explained in the "Getting started guide: Using the
Users Service"...
user = users.get_current_user()
if user:
self.response.out.write(template.render('mySite.html',values))
else:
self.redirect(users.create_login_url(self.request.uri))
...it started working! But in this way, if an external user runs my
application, it asks him to login with his google account and then he
redirect to my web page and he really is able to view my document list
and doc contents.
So my application isn't public because a google account (and a login
to my app) is required.
I think that a solution could be avoiding this login or create a fake
user (with mail and pass already inserted in the code) but i haven't
found a way to do this.
I hope it's a bit clear now.
I don't know where the login request comes from. There isn't a
login:required mark in the app.yaml.
Thank you!!!
Giacomo
