I am new to oauth. I was reading this article http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/articles/oauth.html and at one point it says: Though the OAuth protocol supports the desktop/installed application use case, Google only supports OAuth for web applications. My question is how do the endpoints know if a http request is coming from a web application or a desktop application?
I receive a Unknown Authorization header exception when trying to execute this code (documented at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5590558/unknown-authorization-header-when-calling-client-getdoclist). I was wondering if this is happening because I was running the code from IDLE, not from any web app. Note that i do not see any trace in fiddler when the code is executed - thus the exception seems to have happened even before any http request was sent. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OAuth" group.
