Facebook Responds with String, Not JSON

[GoogleCodeExporter]

File: google-api-python-client/oauth2client/client.py

To make OAuth2WebServerFlow(Flow) work with Facebook, in step2_exchange(), 
change:

# TODO(jcgregorio) Raise an error if simplejson.loads fails?
d = simplejson.loads(content)

...to...

# TODO(jcgregorio) Raise an error if simplejson.loads fails?
try:
    d = simplejson.loads(content)
except:
    d = response_decoder(content)

...and add this response_decoder() function:

def response_decoder(body):
    params = {}
    for k, v in urlparse.parse_qs(body).iteritems():
        if len(v) > 1:
            params[k] = v
        else:
            params[k] = v[0]
    return params
