Oops! Flickr doesn't recognise the "oauth_token" this application is trying to use. #113

Open dave225 opened 4 years ago

dave225 commented 4 years ago

I'm getting this message from flickr when I try to login/authorize:

"An external application has requested your login credentials and permission to perform certain actions on your behalf, but has failed to include all the required data. You don't really need to know what this means, except that you can't use the application until this problem is fixed. (It's a third-party problem, not a Flickr problem.)"

(I don't see this error already posted..) Is there maybe a recent Oauth change? Any ideas for a workaround?

Windows10/Chrome

-- on other threads, I have seen suggestions to remove https - so when I change to: http://www.flickr.com/services/oauth/authorize.gne

The error heading changes to: Oops! There's no oauth_token parameter.

Me to, just downloaded and trying for the first time, when I click on the authorise button it first take me to a page localhost://...., I then go back and try again and I get the above message. This is on OSX Catalina

@dave225 - sorry for the delay in responding - do you still see this error. We're not able to reproduce at our end.

@amartinwest - Flickr has recently changed the logic on their end and is forcefully redirecting to https://localhost... URL even though the application suggests to use http://localhost... URL (https vs http) - so others have noted, one would need to manually change the URL from https to http after successful authentication (preserving everything else on the URL)

Please let us know if that works for you

Ah, didnt think of that, I tried changing the whole prefix to flickr - DOH

Yes that worked thanks

but it resolutely refuses to change

@cutedaffodil - I worked through the issue - but it's been a few weeks and I don't remember the details. I remember it had to do with confusion in the install instruction ... I will post any update if I can recreate the issue.

amartinwest commented 4 years ago

My workaround is to download by album and then just move the albums into my my backup directory, which is quick on osx

I got a different SSL error on Windows with Firefox: "SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG". Chrome had a different message from both Firefox and the opening post above, but also failed. However the solution was the same as noted on Apr 4 above: manually change the httpS://localhost... url to plain http://localhost....
