Hello,

How to debug OAuth locally. Or is the only option to upload to appengine and test it. Any links on this will be very helpful.

Thanks,

By 'locally' I guess you mean using the appengine dev server.

No problem, you need to do three things:-

- edit your /etc/hosts (or windoze equivalent) to create an entry 127.0.0.1 mydevserver.somedomain.com

- add your url's based on that domain to API console, eg mydevserver.somedomain.com:8888/oauthredirect

- have your code detect if it's running on the dev server and use the appropriate redirect url

I actually sniff the URL and use that to modify the redirect url as that way I can also test on dev.mykillerapp.appspot.com, live.mykillerapp.appspot.com as well as mykillerapp.appspot.com
