[twitter-dev] Which one are you using in your mobile app? xAuth or oAuth?

[Oscar Cortes]

We are about to integrate Twitter support in our iOS library and we
are seeing that some devs prefer xAuth over oAuth? Which one are you
using and why? Does Twitter push for one of them more?

Thanks

 One way of formulating your problem would be How can I avoid having two
 windows open? The simplest answer would be, Don't open a second
 window.

  I want to close thepopupautomatically, so the user don't have to. I
  do this with the following:
  ?php if (strlen($_GET['oauth_token'])  0) { echo scriptself.close
  ()/script; } ?

  The problem is that when using the above code, the authentication
  don't seem to work. When trying to tweet I get this:
  /statuses/update.xml Could not authenticate you.

  When I don't use the above code, and thereby force the user to close
  thepopupmanually if he don't want it open, everything works fine.

  Can someone explain this to me, and help with how I can auto close the
 popupwithout messing with the authentication?

 PHP is not my language of choice, but that looks like a scoping issue.

 When you close the window with JavaScript, the authentication data you
 obtained is lost when the window containing it is closed. You need to
 persist the data whatever that means for your application - save a
 cookie, submit data or (Ugh!) set a global - before you close the
 window

Thanks for your tips Chris.

The thing is that the session variables are saved. I'm using Abrahams
oauth script (http://twitter.abrah.am/) and when I check against the
$_SESSION['oauth_state'], it tells me I'm still logged in (I have
connected the visibility of the post to twitter form to this
variable, which I only see when I'm logged in, and it works as
intended).

An addition to the previous description. When I don't use the script,
but close the popup manually, I can still post to twitter in chrome
and firefox. I can however not post in internet explorer, there I get
the message /statuses/update.xml Could not authenticate you. In all
three browsers $_SESSION['oauth_state'] indicate that I'm in fact are
logged in.

What can be different in this scenario between using chrome/firefox or
ie?

Thanks

[twitter-dev] OAuth in popup, does not work when auto close

[oscar]

Hi,

I authenticate with twitter oauth using a popup from my site. When the
authentication is done, twitter redirects the user to my site again.
The user then has my site both in the original browser window, and in
the popup.

I want to close the popup automatically, so the user don't have to. I
do this with the following:
?php if (strlen($_GET['oauth_token'])  0) { echo scriptself.close
()/script; } ?

The problem is that when using the above code, the authentication
don't seem to work. When trying to tweet I get this:
/statuses/update.xml Could not authenticate you.

When I don't use the above code, and thereby force the user to close
the popup manually if he don't want it open, everything works fine.

Can someone explain this to me, and help with how I can auto close the
popup without messing with the authentication?

Thanks
