I am currently working on a php-app which can eitehr be installed on someones webhosting or local machine (using something like WAMP). Slowely I get my head around this OAuth-stuff but I seem to get stuck on how to retreive the authorisationcode. Reading https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2InstalledApp#choosingredirecturi I have two options. http://localhost does not seem viable to my situation because of the way this app can be installed (different remote or local machines/servers/configuration I have no control over) so I suppose I need to use urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob ?
First of all: Do users need to go through this authorisation every time or is this a one time thing? Secondly: I am stumped as to how to "sense that the page has loaded" as the mentioned document describes it? As I see it, I need to open up a new browser-window (or iframe?) so how do I detect (from the other 'page' that the user has either authorised or denied the request? Thirdly: All this would be moot if I could authorize using curl; if I ask users to enter their email/passwords in the app and then using curl make the authorisation...but I am guessing that is not possible? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Contacts, Shared Contacts and User Profiles APIs" group.
