Hi, I am trying to make my Python program talk to a web service hosted on app engine. I am using the appengine-rest-server and authentication using a Google account is required on the server. The idea is that the user specifies his username/password in the client application, and then the client app. will talk to app engine server via webservices.
I found this post: http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/3bd69f0aa72d4bcb/8f872170bd996ad6?lnk=gst&q=webservice+authentication#8f872170bd996ad6. The guy who replied proposes the use of Authentication for Installed Apps, but also mentions that the GAE service should be "ah", which it is not according to http://code.google.com/apis/base/faq_gdata.html#clientlogin (in fact, GAE is not even listed there). What is the service name for GAE (if it exists) and can I access the GAE application in this way? Given the service name I should be able to talk to the server like this: import urllib, urllib2 # user-data data = urllib.urlencode({'accountType' : 'GOOGLE', 'Email' : 'x...@gmail.com', 'Passwd': 'xxx', 'service': 'someservice' , 'source' : 'Me-MyApp-1.0'}) # do the log-in f = urllib.urlopen('https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin',data) # read ClientLogin token (ugly) line = f.readline() token = '' while line: if line.startswith('Auth'): token = line[5:] line = g.readline() # if we got token, login was completed if token: # URL to a Model called testmodel (via appengine-rest-server) url = 'http://myappengineapp.appspot.com/rest/testmodel' # add Authorization header with token headers = {'Authorization': 'GoogleLogin auth='+token} handler = urllib2.HTTPHandler() opener = urllib2.build_opener(handler) req = urllib2.Request(url, headers=headers) f = opener.open(req) # Do something with response.... # close "files" f.close() g.close() Correct? In fact, I am able to login, but somehow I can't use the token to access the GAE app.. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
