Does Daniweb Oauth allow OOB in the redirect_uri which is part of the support for installed/standalone apps? If no, are you expecting desktop app writers to spawn a local web server and use the serverside flow?

Re: Daniweb OAuth support Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani I, personally, am a web developer with no desktop application experience. As a result, there is no native support for OAuth with installed apps. It would be great if you could point me to some examples on the correct method to handle installed apps and I'll defintely look into it.

The method outlined on that page would work with our existing serverside implementation. Re: Daniweb OAuth support Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani Oooh I see what you mean by OOB. We currently only support the redirect uri being an http://localhost port. Is there a need to expand this to support the other method as well? Re: Daniweb OAuth support Community Center Meta DaniWeb by ~s.o.s~ > Is there a need to expand this to support the other method as well? I would say "yes" otherwise it's pretty painful to spawn a local web server just to get the code and makes the entire task look daunting. Plus if you are hoping for an Android/Win/iOS port, adding this would ease the job of the guy writing it. Re: Daniweb OAuth support Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani I had something else already on the todo list for today but I'll try to tackle this as well!

Sorry but I have no experience with this stuff. Feedback much appreciated!!

Did you follow the documentation on the API page and specify 'oob' as the redirect_uri? Is that not what you want?? Re: Daniweb OAuth support Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani You are using redirect_url instead of redirect_uri in your code. Took me awhile of staring at it to figure that out.

For the most part, that's the way it works. The start/stop watching articles thing is probably a bug I'll look into. Also, it's a known limitation that you can vote but you can't unvote from the API right now.

I know that there are a good number of native apps and mobile apps that utilize OAuth, but I personally have no experience with writing native apps.
