I assume you are trying to use the calendar api, since this is the calendar newsgroup.

And the discussion subject is " Accessing the calendar authentication API from a browser?". :o)

But you're bang on with the solution, my silly mistake. Because it's code the google page uses courier and the one and "l" have very similar seriphs (always copy and paste everything!). Thanks for your time and help - I could have stared at that for hours without working it out.

ps I also needed to change the "%40" back to an "@" - I assume it gets percent encoded by my browser anyway so me doing it too messes things up.

Thanks again,

Tim

Making this change, and using my gmail username and password, was all it took for your form to work as expected.

Hello,

The advice
at:http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/developers_guide_protocol.html#a...

leads me to think that if I click the button on the following locally stored HTML form:

<form METHOD=POST ACTION="https://www.google.com/accounts/ ClientLogin"><br> <input name="Email" id="Email" value="blackwelltim%40yahoo.com"><br> <input name="Passwd" id="Passwd" value="mypassword"><br> <input name="source" id="source" value="Biguana-MyApp-1"><br> <input name="service" id="service" value="c1"><br> <INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Test this form"><br> </form>

I would get my 3 alphanumeric codes back (assuming my credentials are right) but I just get

Error=BadAuthentication

. Is there any chance someone could point out what's wrong here?

I realise it's designed to be used programatically, but I would have thought it would still work in a browser (for testing purposes)?

Thanks,

Tim
