Hi All,

I am a bit confused regarding the correct usage of ClientLogin token
to obtain feeds from google calendar.
I know google strongly discourages use of ClientLogin Authorization
Token to access multiple services and recommends using OAuth/AuthSub
tokens. I have implemented the AuthSub/OAuth Token successfully, and
now want to understand how the ClientLogin stuff really works. I found
this exact question in this forum but no answer :-(

* A user successfully authenticates using ClientLogin (meaning we get
an HTTP 200 response after we call https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin
with the proper fields and headers set)
* We parse the auth token out of the body of the response
* We make a second call (to 
http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/default/private/full)
and include the auth token in the Authorization header
as set_header(req, 'Authorization', 'GoogleLogin auth='||
google_auth_token);
* here we get an HTTP 401 ("token invalid") response

At that point, should we just do the ClientLogin call again to get a
new auth token? If so, what's a reasonable number of retries? If not,
what should we do at that point?

Thanks,
Charlie
