Hi Alain,
We use jQuery with requests being authenticated through oAuth 2.0.
We had 2 (two) approaches when sending the request:
1. $.ajax
2. $.post
The data we sent was in one of the two formats:
- atom+xml
- json
Browsers used: Chrome and Firefox .
The four combination ($.ajax w/ json, $.ajax w/ atom+xml, $.post w/ json,
$.post w/ atom+xml) gave us a consistent result
oAuth 2.0 - experimental but very, very good
THE REQUEST
------------------------
(for your convenience below are 2 requests: $.ajax & $.post , leading to
the same result as indicated)
1)
$.ajax({
type : 'POST'
,
url : "
https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/groups/default/full"; ,
data : { access_token : THE_ACCESS_TOKEN ,
alt : "json" ,
atom$entry : {
xmlns : "
http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";,
xmlns$gd : '
http://schemas.google.com/g/2005',
atom$category : {
scheme : 'http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind' ,
term : 'http://schemas.google.com/contact/2008#group'
}, //atom$category
atom$title : {
type : 'text',
$t : strGroupName
},//atom$title
gd$extendedProperty : {
name : strExtended,
info : {
$t : strGroupInfo
}
}//gd$extendedProperty
}//atom$entry
},
dataType : 'jsonp' , //returned type
cache : false , //for 'script' and 'jsonp'
crossDomain : true ,
contentType : 'application/json' ,//contentType :
'application/atom+xml' 'application/json'
success : function(pData, textStatus, jqXHR)
{
var pResponse = $.parseJSON(pData.feed);
if($.isFunction(pCbkFunc)) pCbkFunc(1);
},//success
error : function(jqXHR, pData, errorThrown)
{
if($.isFunction(pCbkFunc)) pCbkFunc(0);
}
});
}
2)
$.post("https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/groups/default/full";,
{ access_token : strToken ,
alt : "json" ,
//v : '3.0' ,
atom$entry : {
xmlns$gd : '
http://schemas.google.com/g/2005',
atom$category : {
scheme : 'http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind' ,
term : 'http://schemas.google.com/contact/2008#group'
}, //atom$category
atom$title : {
type : 'text',
$t : strGroupName
}
}//atom$entry
},
function(pData)
{
var pResponse = $.parseJSON(pData.feed);
if($.isFunction(pCbkFunc)) pCbkFunc(1);
},
'jsonp'
);
THE RESPONSE
---------------------------
It is in JSON format, as requested.
https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/groups/default/full?callback=jQuery16107950585841575277_1317648211470&access_token=ya29.AHES6ZSUlxppuUDkdWNJPCYe7zIN34ysOokCfdy5Y9A_S8I&alt=json&v=3.0&atom%24entry%5Bxmlns%5D=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2005%2FAtom&atom%24entry%5Bxmlns%24gd%5D=http%3A%2F%2Fschemas.google.com%2Fg%2F2005&atom%24entry%5Batom%24category%5D%5Bscheme%5D=http%3A%2F%2Fschemas.google.com%2Fg%2F2005%23kind&atom%24entry%5Batom%24category%5D%5Bterm%5D=http%3A%2F%2Fschemas.google.com%2Fcontact%2F2008%23group&atom%24entry%5Batom%24title%5D%5Btype%5D=text&atom%24entry%5Batom%24title%5D%5B%24t%5D=Customer+Support&atom%24entry%5Bgd%24extendedProperty%5D%5Bname%5D=UnfoldingArt+&atom%24entry%5Bgd%24extendedProperty%5D%5Binfo%5D%5B%24t%5D=Various+Customer+Suport+Departments+you+can+contact&_=1317648243783
Response is 200.
-------
A couple of observations as far as the response is concerned:
- When checking the account, no group is created
- The returned ID (feed.id) is the email rather then the group id.
- The group 'Title' is not what is supposed to be
---------
Many thanks for the prompt response
Bill
