I don't think it is so much related to how google authenticates, I can
identify and auth with their servers fine using elinks. I am having a
bit of difficulty identifying the core issue here, I still do not know
if it is client or server. At first I thought it was Javascript
related, I have come to believe this is not dependent on that. If
this is related to cookie verification/retention then what would be
a method of diagnosis? I have removed cookies listed as google
before re-authenticating, to no avail.
Ok, I created an empty config. It worked. -cookies.max_age = 0
+cookies.max_age = -1 (Thought I tested this, sorry for the confusion,
now we know.)
