(Disclaimer: I work for AOL) Yes, OpenAuth can be done entirely in JavaScript. You have to open new windows to go to the AOL servers to authenticate (Safari won't write 3rd party cookies if you load the AOL site in an iframe). OpenAuth API docs are here: http://dev.aol.com/openauth_api Look at the JSON examples, and use "c" parameter to get JSONP-type callbacks -- that allows you to use dynamically created script tags to do the auth stuff. You will have to open a new window for some calls, so use the succUrl parameter to get redirected back to your site. I use OpenAuth for my AIM client, TinyBuddy IM (http://tybyim.com). The whole app is just HTML, JS and CSS, and the nice thing about OpenAuth is that my server does not see your password. It also uses AOL's Web AIM API, so my server does not see your IM traffic either. And I'm hoping that .mac accounts work too, since they are backed by AIM (haven't tried it yet though). I'm hoping to get the permission to open source the code soon, after I convert the interface to iUI. I'm also testing SSL connection support, to get encrypted IM sending. I'll post a note when I get the next release out (within this next week), but you can follow more fine- grained detail at the project blog: http://journals.aol.com/tinybuddy/tinynotes/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iPhoneWebDev" group.
