Jeremy:
Yep, check the makeRequest forum for details. Oauth is now working properly across the MySpace proxy.

Yep, until the proxy died anyway :(

bump...anyone had any luck in getting this working yet? I don't want to waste any more of my time until it's implemented.

If I included the authentication flag, I was getting blank oauth variables up until last Friday (although the oauth_signature was always blank). Now I get no oauth variables at all, even though none of my code changed. So long story short, no you're not going to see any oauth parameters until they get this whole thing implemented.

It is my experience, that any combination of the above does not work.

I have not, once, ever (is that clear :)?) gotten even a blank oauth anything.

I tried putting it on the url, I tried putting it as opt_params to the makeRequest call.

0.000% of the time, do I get any params, empty or not, added ot the call.

I am still getting empty oauth_token and oauth_signature on a signed request

How can I go back and view what the consumer secret is for my app? When I view the details for my app all it has is the "Application Domain". Is this the same thing?

Thanks

Ditto. Even a shell of a document outlining what these might look like so I can get the logic in place and ready for when it does get turned on would be helpful. BTW: I'm really happy to see this coming - this was the biggest weakness of OpenSocial IMO.

Has anybody had any success with this yet? I can set the authentication to AuthorizationType.SIGNED, but it still doesn't seem to send any additional OAuth parameters to my app. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have been wondering about this myself. This seems like a MySpace specific implementation and won't work on other open social containers.

Nevertheless, I would be very interested in the code for a working example of hitting a url that authenticates a userid.

It looks like most of the makeRequest options haven't been implemented yet. Just be patient.. :)

I changed it to:

 var params = {};
          params[opensocial.ContentRequestParameters.AUTHENTICATION] = opensocial.ContentRequestParameters.AuthorizationType.SIGNED;

	    opensocial.Container.get().makeRequest(
			"http://mysite.com", 
			function(content) 
			{
                          target.innerHTML = content;
			},
                        params);

No errors now, but I still don't see any extra POST or GET parameters.

I think it's supposed to be

opensocial.ContentRequestParameters.AuthorizationType.SIGNED

alright, I tried doing this SIGNED thing, but I get the error "opensocial.ContentRequestParameters.AuthenticationType has no properties". I'm guessing because it's not implemented? Code is below.

    opensocial.Container.get().makeRequest(
			"http://mysite.com", 
			function(content) 
			{
                          target.innerHTML = content;
			},
                        opensocial.ContentRequestParameters.AuthenticationType.SIGNED);
