Hello,

I tried to use googlecl to access my blog from cmd line, but it seems
like it fails at the auth phase. I tried:

[user@blog user]$ google blogger list
Please specify user: joa...@invisiblethingslab.com
Please specify blog: theinvisiblethings
Please log in and/or grant access via your browser at
https://www.google.com/(...) then hit enter.

... it then fires up a Web browser, which however displays the following
error:

Server error

Sorry, you've reached a login page for a domain that isn't using Google
Apps. Please check the web address and try again.

?

When I try specifying some random username and blog names I get:

[user@blog user]$ google blogger list
Please specify user: aaa
Please specify blog: bbb
Please log in and/or grant access via your browser at (...) then hit enter.

... and now I get a proper prompt in the web browser (I'm still logged
in to my blogger, of course):

"The GoogleCL user@blog application on your computer is requesting
access to your Google Account for the product(s) listed below.

Email address - joa...@invisiblethingslab.com
Blogger
"

... to which I respond with clicking the Grant Access button.
Unfortunately this doesn't work as the googlecl tools says:

You specified account aaa but granted access for
joa...@invisiblethingslab.com. Please log out of
joa...@invisiblethingslab.com and grant access with aaa.

So, it seems like the problem is caused by the '@' character appearing
in my real username that I would like to use, no?

Thanks,
joanna.
