Subject: Picasa AuthSub api down?

For over a day now the Picasa AuthSub authentication doesn't appear to
be working, at least for actionscript applications. I thought I was
doing something wrong at first in my app, but checking other live Flex
apps (like mixbook.com) I see the same thing: their Picasa integration
is broken as well.

it appears that the
https://accounts.googleapis.com/accounts/AuthSubSessionToken

endpoint is not returning a web service response but is returning the
html for the google homepage instead. I'm blocked until this issue is
resolved.

Can anyone at Google give me a status update on this issue?
thanks
Peter

By the way, I posted a related question about OAuth / Actionscript
security issues two days ago and am still waiting for this message to
be approved by the moderator... or was my submission just lost
somewhere?

Subject: Re: Picasa AuthSub api down?
I'm still blocked by this issue and would REALLY appreciate it if a
Google engineer could shed some light on why the url

https://accounts.googleapis.com/accounts/AuthSubSessionToken

is returning a 302 status code and redirecting to www.google.com. I'm
basically just following the instructions from
http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/docs/as-authsub.html line by line.

I'm receiving the single use token succesfully but things go bad when
I try to exchange that for a authentication token following the
AuthSub action
Any help appreciated,
Peter

Sorry for the delay, this is now being investigated. I'll post updates

The issue has been identified and a fix is on the way. Due to the
nature of this issue and the fairly low impact this is having, the
push of the fix will be done with our regularly scheduled pushes on
November 24th, Pacific Standard Time. Please let us know if you
continue to experience the problem after the 24th.

Not sure if it is a related problem, but for the past weeks now
calling AuthSubTokenInfo for OAuth tokens seem to always fail. My
(desktop) application was working perfectly fine and no code changes
have been made. Was there a change made sometime ago in Google/
Picasa's OAuth APIs that could have broken this?

Hello,

The problem is apparently still occurring.
So, it would be great to receive an update as to when this can be
fixed, if that is possible.
And also: an update of the developper's guide (http://code.google.com/
apis/picasaweb/docs/1.0/developers_guide_python.html) with the way to
retrieve the upgraded session token and instantiate the client with it
would be more than welcome.

Thanks.

Hi,

are you referring to the original issue that started this thread or to the
issue brought up by the previous poster "Tibursio"?

The original issue got fixed on the promised date November 24th, 2010.
The other issue, about using AuthSubTokenInfo on OAuth tokens, I couldn't
verify yet. However, I am not sure where this has ever been documented to
work.
AuthSub has been Google's proprietary authentication mechanism for web
sites, and I am actually surprised to hear that OAuth tokens were supported
by the AuthSubTokenInfo API at some point.

Thanks,
Detlev

This problem is occurring for me too, and I am referring to the
original issue with https://www.google.com/accounts/accounts/AuthSubSessionToken
not returning a token.  However, I get a 404 NOT FOUND response and an
HTML page, pretty much exactly what you see when you visit that URL in
the browser, despite the fact that I am passing the AuthSub token as
an Authorization header.  I'm using https://github.com/kueda/ruby_picasa,
which hasn't changed in some time, so I'm assuming something changed
on Google's end (again).  Is this a bug, or was something deprecated?

I also noted that http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/docs/2.0/developers_guide_proto...
states the token should be in the headers of the response, not the
body, so I looked for a "Token" header in my 404 response, but it
wasn't there.

Not sure if this is just a typo on your end or the actual URL you're trying.
But it should just be a single "accounts" in that URL:
 https://accounts.googleapis.com/accounts/AuthSubSessionToken
and hitting that should give you a 401 UNAUTHORIZED error, and not a 404.

I had noticed that, but figured it was correct because that's the
exact URL listed at

http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/docs/2.0/developers_guide_proto...

However, I took your advice and changed it to
/accounts/AuthSubSessionToken and it seems to work now.  Many thanks
for a quick and helpful reply.  Any chance you could change the docs?

Woops! Thanks a lot for pointing this out. A fix is on the way.
Also, please consider switching to OAuth. It's not explicitly listed on the
PicasaWeb API docs, but it is of course supported.
Details can be found here:
http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/articles/oauth.html
