** I am currently implementing fancy URLs to see if these 'solves' this. eg /me/soundcloudconnect rather than index.php?c=me&a=soundcloudconnect via mod_rewrite **
I have been using the Soundcloud JS SDK and SC.Connect() etc function(s) which automates much of the Auth process. I have been using a Normal html file: sc.html which worked fine and allowed me to get /me/ and /me/tracks etc.
However I now realise? that I will need to perform Auth myself as I need to add a State variable as documented below, so that it prepends these params to the end of the Redirect_URI.
http://groups.google.com/group/soundcloudapi/browse_thread/thread/7bddbc296f3b80af
The URL that I am trying to redirect back to is:
index.php?c=me&a=soundcloudconnect
which is the 'me' controller and 'soundcloudconnect' action.
So could someone please point me in the right direction?
Either I want to be able to use SC.Connect() etc (but also be able to get and save Token) as well as redirect back to the URI above
Or, I need to do the same thing (Auth and store token) but not using SC.Connect() but normal JS instead.
I read that Soundcloud Developer support is via Stackoverflow - so hopefully someone can help?
The normal HTML file with working SC Auth:
http://socialartist.co/sc.html
The dynamic page which does not work with SC Auth:
http://socialartist.co/index.php?c=me&a=soundcloudconnect#
The issue is probably that those query parameters are interfering with the original url. E.g. http://www.soundcloud.com/register/?token=blagha23412&redirect_uri=http://anydomain.com/index.php?c=me&a=soundcloudconnect
How would SoundCloud distinguish between your parameters and its parameters? You might be able to wrap the redirect_uri value in quotes.
An alternative might be to use the path as your parameters. E.g. http://anydomain.com/index.php/me/soundcloudconnect and then you should be able to grab whatever you need out of the path on your server.
** SOLVED!! **
If you need to pass parameters to SC connect/auth then the only way to do this is to setup fancy urls via mod_rewrite.
There 'seems' to be another method here, but you need to be doing the Auth in 2 steps and not via SC.Connect.

I was trying to get URL_redirect to work with:
index.php?c=me&a=soundcloudconnect
But in the End just used Fancy URLs which worked

I have a website built from Ember.js. A user can access a page through URL http://..../view?showTitle=true. However I don't want to explicitly expose the parameter showTitle=true to the user (meaning user will only see http://..../view). This URL is automatically generated and serves as a redirect destination URL. So, I have to remove it manually somewhere before the page load. But I still need this value of this query parameter to query data. Is there a way to achieve that (A example would be great)? What about do it without refreshing the router?
Actually, an example of your scenario would be greater :)
There are some other ways to store data while transitioning to a route. Such as: storing the params in transition object or storing the value in a service. Create a redirection route, use beforeModel hook to grab the value from query params then do a redirection to the real route.
A working example is: ember-twiddle-1
By the way, even if you don't describe your queryParamsin your routes, you can access them via transition.queryParams. This seems a bit hacky. But it works: ember-twiddle-2 (Note: It doesn't work in the same route.)
Updated:
At the setupController hook you can override the controller parameters. So you can remove the parameters from the url. ember-twiddle-3
I'm working on a Pylons project using Jinja2 templating. I want to test for the request URI and/or controller inside the Jinja2 templates - is there an equivalent to a getRequestUri() call? I can set a context variable as a flag inside all the controller methods to do what I want, but that seems a bit like writing my home address on each and every one of my house keys... i.e. not quite the right way to do it.
Solution: not quite a function call, but I can test against url.environ.PATH_INFO. It only gives me the URL path, not the hostname, and I don't know that it would give me the query string, but it gives me what I need.
I have a url like this: /hello/world#/lol/backbone
I'd like to get access, in ruby, to the full, entire path. I'd normally do something like this: request.fullpath but that returns only /hello/world and leaves off the #/lol/backbone/
Been Googling for awhile. Can't seem to find it.
You can't get the fragment in your server code, the URL fragment (#/lol/backbone) is a client-side issue. The browser will interpret the fragment but it will not send it to your server.
If you need the fragment then you'll have to convert it to a parameter by intercepting your link with a bit of JavaScript, then the server could see something like
/hello/world?frag=/lol/backbone
and you could pull the fragment out of params[:frag]. This does of course assume that your JavaScript link interceptor will get run, that's not guaranteed so your server-side code should be prepared for a missing params[:frag].
I am using tornado framework to use the Twitter API. I am not understanding why I am getting a callback url with the value of next in it
auth/login?next=%2F%3Foauth_token%3D
I understand that /auth/login is setup by me during AuthLoginHandler. But I am not understanding what is setting next token inside the url. This makes my other argument
self.get_argument('oauth_token', None)
return None.
I know that we can still parse the url the get the oauth_token, but any insights into how TwitterMixin or default Oauth class of tornado is doing this. I am a newbie to Tornado
Firstly, You can ignore the 'next' argument until you get your core code working.
'next' is an extra parameter so you can forward the user to to the original page you asked for like this:
self.redirect(self.get_argument('next', '/'))
The 'next' param is added in the request handler here after a call to get_current_user has returned None. [ie user is not logged in]
The Tornado docs describe how to write a handler for Twitter.
I'm trying to get Twitter authentication working on my ASP.NET site. When you create the app on the Twitter website, you have to specify a callback URL, which for sake of argument, I have set to http://mydomain.com
I've read the oAuth 1.0a spec, and to override this callback URL with your own custom one you have to send the oauth_callback parameter in the request_token phase (url-encoded of course).
So my request URL looks like this:
http://twitter.com/oauth/request_token?oauth_callback=http%3A%2F%2Fmydomain.com%2Ftwittercallback
Supposedly, if all goes to plan, in your response data, you are supposed to receive a new parameter of oauth_callback_confirmed=true in addition to your token and token secret parameters.
However, my response comes through as:
oauth_token=MYTOKEN&oauth_token_secret=MYTOKENSECRET
I know I haven't given you guys the greatest amount to go on, but I'm at my wits end as to why I am not receiving the oauth_callback_confirmed parameter. Without this, my application keeps defaulting back to the callback URL hard-coded on the Twitter website. Please if anyone could help me out, I will be eternally grateful!
Thanks,
A.
I've read the oAuth 1.0a spec, and to
override this callback URL with your
own custom one you have to send the
oauth_callback parameter in the
request_token phase (url-encoded of
course).
So my request URL looks like this:
http://twitter.com/oauth/request_token?oauth_callback=http%3A%2F%2Fmydomain.com%2Ftwittercallback
just because YOU read the spec doesn't mean that TWITTER read it. :P
kidding - this is essentially correct - but the way twitter likes to receive this data is a little different (and not well documented).
the way i've found to get the oauth_callback to confirm is as follows: specify the oauth_callback in the parameters of the request function, NOT within the URL.
python example (using oauth2):
''' Create our client.'''
client = oauth.Client(consumer)
''' do the request '''
resp, content = client.request(request_token_url,"POST",body=urllib.urlencode({'oauth_callback':callbackURL}))
''' note that it's called "body" in this particular OAuth function for Client but in OAuth Request object it's called "parameters." YMMV depending on programming language/ library of course. '''
this is ALSO the only way i've managed to get an oauth verifier back. supposedly one should not have to specify the callback URL every time, since we provide it in app settings...but experience seems to indicate otherwise.
finally, please be aware that at leg 3 you have to do the same thing AGAIN - this time including the oauth_verifier as well as the callback URL in the parameters.
hope this helps - can't begin to tell you how much effort i put into figuring this out.
good luck!

I've used this guide to set up my PC to be used as the callback location. Basically you set up your hosts file in a certain way, clear your cache and add a couple of Firefox registry values. At the end when you are debugging an oauth call the redirect comes back to your local PC.
As I said it worked for me.
<?php
// oauth-php example
$token = OAuthRequester::requestRequestToken(
$consumer_key,
$user_id,
array('oauth_callback'=> urlencode($callback_uri))
);
?>
