I have a question about the Oauth 2.0 popup flow.  I¹m looking at OAuth¹s
1.0 flow, because I¹m not seeing corresponding documentation for 2.0.

http://shindig.apache.org/shindig-1.1.x/shindig-features/jsdoc/symbols/gadge
ts.oauth.Popup.html

Anyway... 1 of my questions is... WHO closes the popup window?  Is that
spec¹d out somewhere?  Is it the authorization server that does that or am I
missing something in the flow?  I see the popup polls the window to detect
when it¹s closed and then tries to fetchData again.

Secondly... we have a need to redirect to the oauthApprovalUrl, but our
implementation doesn¹t have any UI.  It just uses the request data to
authorize.  Thus I really don¹t need a popup, so it would be desirable to
have the gadget just make the request without having to click on a link.
However, this will get stopped by popup blockers.  Is there another way of
doing this via maybe an hidden iframe or something?  But how would I detect
it¹s done?  Ideas?

Thanks,
doug
