[request] register goo.gl URLs with Google when authenticated #144

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Service name: goo.gl
Service URL: http://goo.gl/
API: (unknown)

If I use the goo.gl URL shortener directly while I'm authenticated to my Google 
account, the URLs are added to my list and I'm able to see statistics about the 
usage of those URLs.  If I use this shortenurl extension while authenticated to 
Google, the URLs are not saved in my list.  I'd like to see that change.

I admit that I don't know the code of this extension well nor the goo.gl API, 
but I imagine that it's just a matter of passing along the appropriate Google 
authentication cookies.  Could the extension check for the presence of the 
Google cookies and pass them along with the goo.gl request?  That way, if the 
user is authenticated, they will be saved to their list, if they're not 
authenticated, they would get the same behavior we see today.  Don't bother to 
prompt the user for authentication if they're not authenticated, leaving the 
experience as unobtrusive as possible.
