Hi all I am trying to get my rails app to talk to Windows LIVE (through OAuth Wrap) so I can retrieve a list of contacts. I am using the rest_client gem to do this. Here is the action code for it:
def hotmail
app_id = 'some_id'
app_sec = 'some_secret'
app_callback = 'http://my.callback.com/same/as/getting/verification_code'
app_var = params[:wrap_verification_code]
encoded = "wrap_client_id=#{app_id}&wrap_client_secret=#{app_sec}&wrap_verification_code=#{app_var}&wrap_callback=#{app_callback}".encode!('UTF-8')
begin
r = RestClient.post("https://consent.live.com/AccessToken.aspx", encoded.bytes.to_a, {:content_type => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', :content_length => encoded.bytesize})
rescue => e
puts e.message
end
render :text => 'hello'
end
I base this on a c# example http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff750952.aspx (note: http://www.goatly.net/2010/12/23/401-unauthorized-when-acquiring-an-access-token-windows-live-sdk.aspx shows the correct payload)
However I keep getting 401 Unauthorized, so I am thinking is the way I am using rest_client incorrectly? During a form post is there somthing else I need to do?
ANy hints will be really helpful :) thanks in advance.
