Python Client Example confusion #82

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Maybe I'm not understanding this right, but the example client has these
constants defined:

SERVER = 'localhost'
PORT = 8080

REQUEST_TOKEN_URL = 'https://photos.example.net/request_token'
ACCESS_TOKEN_URL = 'https://photos.example.net/access_token'
AUTHORIZATION_URL = 'https://photos.example.net/authorize'
CALLBACK_URL = 'http://printer.example.com/request_token_ready'
RESOURCE_URL = 'http://photos.example.net/photos'

Shouldn't the URLs be paths like this?

SERVER = 'photos.example.net'
PORT = 443

REQUEST_TOKEN_URL = '/request_token'
ACCESS_TOKEN_URL = '/access_token'
AUTHORIZATION_URL = '/authorize'
CALLBACK_URL = '/request_token_ready'
RESOURCE_URL = '/photos'

Otherwise calling methods like:

token = client.fetch_request_token(oauth_request)

will result in a request to this full URL:

http://localhost:8080https://photos.example.net/request_token

Can you add a comment or something to explain this?

The server and port settings are for the client and the urls are for the example
server. The example client isn't really meant to be used in production... it's 
really
just an example and a test.

Sorry that this isn't very clear. I've added some comments so I hope that helps.
There are plenty of implementations of an OAuth client out in the wild but most 
are
specific to your web framework.
