[orkut-developer] [bug] Orkut doesn't return current_location if user is not viewer

[Thyako]

Hi.

If you ask for current_location when fetching a person by ID (which
has the app, of course), orkut only returns this field if the user is
the viewer or owner of the app, at least in opensocial 0.7 in real
production (not production sandbox).

To test this, try fetching user information, including
current_location for the VIEWER, for your own Opensocial ID and for a
third person's Opensocial ID (which has the app). It is expected to
get your own country twice and the third person's country. But the
last is undefined.

Or try the code below in OpenSocial Dev App running in real production
( http://www.orkut.com.br/Main#AppInfo.aspx?appId=291092957065 ).

This will fetch data of yourself as the viewer, of Lane (
http://www.orkut.com.br/Main#Profile.aspx?uid=6325640989800441941 )
and mine.

If Lane do this test, he will get his country correctly both as the
viewer and by his ID, but my country will be undefined, though I have
the app installed (which can be confirmed fetching my details by ID
using the "data viewer" tab).

Also, check the request response in Firebug; It just doesn't come with
location data.
