Subject: Elinks with GoogleCL (Grant Access/Verification)
This post may be more appropriate for the Elinks list.  
GoogleCL opens 'elinks' fine with the 'auth_browser' setting.  Once I am
sent to google [ https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken ] I
login, then directed to the Grant Access page to which I follow the link
'Grant Access', which sends POST to
https://www.google.com/accounts/CookieMismatch.  I want to verify that
is is not a 'user setting' error, I have checked all elinks settings to
make sure I understand their meaning.  GMail works fine (I can login and
perform functions).

Now the only post I have come across is with Cygwin and elinks. That
user had issues unrelated to mine, but they were still able to see the
verification code.  I have also seen a function (within elinks git)
related to the utilization of elinks, so I think elinks is a supported
medium of verification.

I am surprised by the lack of information I have been able to obtain in
regards to this issue, this leads me to believe this is an uncommon one.

I had trouble using elinks to authenticate too, and couldn't figure out how
it had even been launched, since my BROWSER was unset.

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.)
