Hi Ankit, It looks like they are probably using ClientLogin instead of AuthSub as the means of authentication. ClientLogin was intended for applications running on the local machine that might not be integrated with a web browser. You are correct in that AuthSub does not directly reveal your username to websites that use it, though certain feeds (like Calendar) might allow them to infer this information.
You can read more about the authentication methods here: http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/auth.html Cheers, -Jeff On Oct 6, 12:19 pm, Ankit Gupta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey, > > I had a couple of questions about buxfer.com > > 1.
