Has anybody tried the new Netflix API with oauth-ruby?

2008-10-03T05:45:20Z

I am hoping someone who's tried the Netflix API can help me. I've got
my key and secret from the Netflix site and I was trying to follow
along with the instruction at [link].

In my Ruby script, I first do a

@consumer=OAuth::Consumer.new( MY-API-KEY,MY-SECRET, {:site=>"http://

Problems Storing RequestToken in a Rails Session

2008-09-22T14:13:27Z

First, I save the a request token in a session:

@request_tok...@consumer.get_r equest_token
session[:request_token]=@reque st_token

When I try to retrieve the RequestToken from a session (in the
callback):

@request_token=session[:reques t_token]

I get the error:

Answers about oauth implementation decitions

2008-09-14T05:32:33Z

Hi guys,

I wanted to know if you can't point me to resources regarding the
reasons for some implementation decisions made by the guys behind
OAuth. For example:

* Why did they choose to have a pre-registration of the consumers with
the providers? Would it been possible to accomplish secure APIs

MySpace OpenSocial requests fail with the oauth gem

2008-09-11T14:27:41Z

Hi there,

It seems that there is a mismatch with how the gadgets.io.makeRequest
OpenSocial method (at least as implemented by MySpace) build the oauth
signature and how the oauth gem (0.2.7) do it.

I spent a good time trying to debug where things go differently and it
turns out MySpace only escapes the OAuth consumer key once while the

Announce: OAuth Ruby Gem 0.2.7

2008-09-10T19:58:11Z

I've fixed the error with rsa that Philip discovered. We suspected
there was a problem with the official test case that caused this, but
it was more like a problem with me poorly cut and pasting a line of
code from a previous test case. That said we need a few more test
cases on the wiki, including some that include tokens.

File upload/Multipart POST request

2008-09-10T19:45:32Z

Hi Guys,

I've been wrestling with this for a couple of hours now and haven't
found a solution. Is there a way to upload a file using OAuth-Ruby?

When I send a normal request, everything works but adding a file as a
parameter makes the signature invalid.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Tiago

XRDS-Simple Gem (Was: Re: [oauth-ruby] Re: Nearly ready for 0.2.6)

Agreed. That would be ideal. We could then host it in the proper code repo:

Yes. It basically sets up OAuth for decentralized use -- where you
discover the OAuth endpoints and then initiate the OAuth dance.
Purty please? ;)

Guys,
I've merged most of your various fixes into master and also added a
unit tests for the rsa code. I discovered that there were lots of
problems still, in particular with verification but I believe it
should now work.
I would like to include some of the work Philip has done on supporting
arbitrary urls, but I think we should get the support in on an even

Google do not ask me for a callback url when registering my app... where do I put it?

2008-09-04T20:19:54Z

Hey.

When registering my app for OAuth, I go here:

[link]

but Google does not ask me for a callback url there. Where do I put
it?

I did this:

redirect_to @request_token.authorize_url +
"&oauth_callback=#{ CGI.escape("myurl") }"

which worked but just don't feel right....

Does this gem work with Google OAuth Authentication?

2008-09-03T20:45:53Z

Hi,

I have been reading over the Google OAuth Authentication document and
also the simple documentation, tutorial and code of this gem to try to
see whether this gem would work with Google's OAuth requirement as it
is. The "OAuth Client Tutorial" or "Demonstration of usage" doesn't
address the more complex requirement of Google OAuth implementation,

Test Errors?

2008-09-03T20:08:15Z

I just pulled OAuth Ruby from GitHub to fix a bug and submit a patch.
Before working on it, I ran the tests on my freshly pulled copy and
got several test errors. Is this a problem with my env, or are these
tests currently failing for others?

Completely lost

I'm totally lost, and I'm not too proud to admit that. I have an
existing application (with an API), and I've been asked to make it
support OAuth. This is my first OAuth adventure.

Please help in wrangling OAuth gem

2008-08-26T00:29:47Z

Hi all,
Maybe my approach here is completely wrong but I haven't been able to
find a way using the Ruby OAuth gem to accomplish this:
* What I'm intending to do is two-legged OAuth.
* Provided that I have:
a) a target URL to GET from
b) a known consumer key
c) a known consumer secret
* I want to send this host a signed request including these parameters:
