[google-appengine] OAuth Refuses to Authenticate Me
I'm working on an application that interfaces between App Engine, a Chrome Extension, and Android. I've managed to get the Chrome extension authenticating fine through OAuth (oddly, without ever using the App Engine OAuth library...? It just detected users.get_current_user()) but the Android client is giving me some trouble. I'm using Apache's HttpPost to send the request, and SignPost to sign it. My request is as follows: "POST /links/add? oauth_signature=VPt6v7SEJ0xGv7TDLjPe5vtoc7E%3D&oauth_token=1%2Fu0QvC- RMgDC9lq3B3PjFHjBZZ39colyxwj9q96qm-- o&oauth_consumer_key=anonymous&oauth_signature_method=HMAC- SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1276711674&oauth_nonce=-5410272903654758759 HTTP/ 1.1" with a single key/value pair attached. I keep receiving: "Traceback (most recent call last): File "/base/python_runtime/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ ext/webapp/__init__.py", line 513, in __call__ handler.post(*groups) File "/base/data/home/apps/android2cloud/1.342714137082534334/ main.py", line 44, in post elif oauth.get_current_user(): File "/base/python_runtime/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ api/oauth/oauth_api.py", line 86, in get_current_user _maybe_call_get_oauth_user() File "/base/python_runtime/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ api/oauth/oauth_api.py", line 152, in _maybe_call_get_oauth_user _maybe_raise_exception() File "/base/python_runtime/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ api/oauth/oauth_api.py", line 167, in _maybe_raise_exception raise InvalidOAuthParametersError InvalidOAuthParametersError" Is this trying to tell me that my signature and token do not match, or am I doing something else wrong? The request is virtually identical to the Chrome extension that is working, so I can't figure out what the issue could be.

[google-appengine] OAuth and Android
Hello, all. I'm the developer behind the android2cloud project. I'm using Signpost to connect via OAuth to Google App Engine, running on Python. A single user has reported a weird OAuthExpectationFailed error. What's weird about it is that it only appears when they're operating on 3G-- not on WiFi. I've spoofed their account (with their express permission) and haven't been able to reproduce the issue. Can anyone give me more information on the OAuthExpectationFailed exception? Is there any way to determine what was expected, what was received, and how they differ? Any information or help on this would be awesome. I've also put in a request with the Signpost development group, and will be contacting Orange, the carrier of the user, but any information is more than I have right now. I'm stumped. If anyone's curious, the history is here: http://code.google.com/p/android2cloud/issues/detail?id=31 Thanks, Paddy Foran -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.

[google-appengine] OAuth Refuses to Function for Non-HTTP(S) Callback URLs
I'm working on connecting my Android application to an App Engine server with the built-in OAuth provider for Python. I'm trying to set a callback for myappname://insert.host.here/oauth/callback, but every time I make a request, I authorise the token and instead of being redirected am given a message: Invalid Callback URL. It looks like most OAuth providers don't currently restrict you to http/https in callbacks (possibly for this very reason). Every http/https request I make works, just the custom callback ones have an issue. Is the App Engine OAuth provider limited to a certain subset of protocols for callbacks? Is there any way to get a list of the allowed callbacks or, preferably, get the limitation lifted? Android and App Engine provide an amazing platform together, but if the OAuth flow is hobbled (e.g, making us use OOB, which isn't very user-friendly), it makes things a bit more difficult.

[google-appengine] Re: Should I take my website somewhere else? - blocked in China
I'd just like to point out how funny it is that people keep banging on for Google to respond, and in their banging on for Google to respond, they missed Google's actual response. >> Is there any google staff who is responsible for GAE promotion and >> technology to say something here? > >> How can I access to my Google Apps via my own domain directly, e.g. >> how can access via mail.my_domain.com instead of mail.google.com/a/ >> my_domain.com? > >One way to address this is to run a proxy server elsewhere, which will >allow your site to have it's own unique IP, rather than the shared IPs >of Google. > >-Brett >App Engine Team Please note the "App Engine Team" signature. That means Brett (at least claims he) is from Google. Poor Brett was ignored, as people clamoured for Brett to comment. This is why I love the internet. It amuses me to no end.

[google-appengine] ReferenceProperty performance question
Suppose I have the following database: class Model1(db.Model): att1 = db.IntegerProperty() class Model2(db.Model): model1 = db.ReferenceProperty(Model1, collection_name='model2s') string = db.StringProperty() Suppose I create a few Model1s and several Model2s, then have the following code: model1s = Model1.all() for model1 in model1s: for model2 in model1.model2s: self.response.out.write(model2.string) Does model1.model2s cause a query to be run? I would imagine so. Is this query run every time I ask for model1.model2s, or is it automatically cached? Any information on this would be helpful.
