Duplication of host when given absolute path : "the scheme http does not accept registry part"

[Dan Neil]

Hi all,

I've been using this oauth plugin (0.4.6) to handle requests to Picasa, and have just upgraded my gem sources.  However, the code broke with the following error:

> picasa.token.get('http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/default')

URI::InvalidURIError: the scheme http does not accept registry part: picasaweb.google.com:80picasaweb.google.com (or bad hostname?)

The code seems to request e.g., "http://picasaweb.google.com:80picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/default" instead of "http://picasaweb.google.com:80/data/feed/api/user/default"

When given an absolute path, line 337 in consumer.rb reads the following and generates the url:

path = uri.path + path if uri.path

Changing it to an unless condition fixes my problem:

path = uri.path + path unless uri.path

Am I misusing the token, or should line 337 be changed to the "unless" condition?  Thanks.

For anyone else who has this problem, it is a mistake in how we're using this.  When you initialize your token, pass in the site (with the http/https at the beginning):

      consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new(app_id, app_secret,

        { :site => "https://" + Picasa.host,

          :scheme => :header

        })

then when you make a request, use only relative urls:

    path = Picasa.path(options)

    puts "Contacting: #{path}"     # ==> Contacting: /data/feed/api/user/default?max-results=500&start-index=1&kind=photo&thumbsize

    response = token.request(:get, path)

And it should all work great.
