Dan, The good news: It's working now. I dug deep into the gadgets.io.* javascript, figured out that there was nothing there to inhibit what I want to do, and then just dug deeper into my Apache logs and found that *some* (but not all) of the sandbox page reloads were indeed causing makeRequest() to hit my server.
Now, just so you know for future reference: >From that URL you pointed me to: > A Note to OAuth Service Providers > > If you want to help your development community avoid this manual registration > step, you can instead > augment your OAuth configuration to accept digital signatures directly from > iGoogle. I don't want to have to do this manual registration step, nor does it appear that I have to. And now some bad news: The whole gadget development experience is, well, utterly awful. The documentation is helter-skelter. There are broken links all over your site. Some documents suggest a Content type of "html" while others recommend "url". GGE is terrible, and shouldn't be allowed to exist on a sandbox page if it doesn't support all of the sandbox features. The OAuth "tricks" page doesn't really have any tricks at all... it just has random musings and notes, but nothing all that valuable. It's completely unclear what features are currently supported in the sandbox, reducing developers to trial and error. It's also completely unclear what kind of ballpark timeline you have for putting sandbox features onto iGoogle, if ever. It would be nice to see the root cause of a lot of questions addressed with better documentation. I suspect that you would have a lot more gadget development activity if the documentation problems were addressed.
