OAuth in Objective C

[Shawn]

From another post I got this information:

get a request token: /oauth/request_token
authorize the request token: /oauth/authorize
exchange for access token: /oauth/access_token

I assume those are all http://www.goodreads.com as the base url?

When I'm trying to create an OAuth instance in Objective C its asming me for the authenticationURL, which seems like it should be the authorize url, but what is the base url? It is not just http://www.goodreads.com/ (at least not from testing).

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

If I understand your question correctly http://www.goodreads.com is the base url, and you will tack on the /oauth/ piece that is pertinent to the stage in authentication you are at. So when you are requesting the token you will use:

http://www.goodreads.com/oauth/reques...

and so on. Hope that helps!

Yeah, thats what I initially tried and it kept telling me invalid Oauth request. I've got it working (Well, I can get the oauth key/secret after requesting a token) if I do it manually, but I can't get it to work within the objective c framework.

I remember having lots of trouble getting the url in the right state of escapedness when i was doing oauth last time. I haven't worked with obj-c but that would be my first guess.

Maybe you could past some sample code?

Okay, it looks like I've gotten a bit further than I was a little while back.

Now I'm having a slightly smaller problem.

When I open the oauth url in Safari, its taking me to the "Sign up" page as opposed to taking me to the "login" page. If I click the "sign in" button in the top right, it gives me the correct "Authorize or Deny" screen afterwards, but when I do it in firefox, it takes me to the "Sign In" page as opposed to the "Sign Up" page. Any ideas?

[Scott]

could it be a cookie issue in the browser itself?

[Shawn]

I suppose thats possible. It does that in Internet Explorer now too. (Goes to the signup as opposed to the login page). I guess this isn't a bad thing per se. Just had to see that signup button on a tiny screen.
