So I read everything I could and jumped right in, only to spend the day receiving "Error=BadAuthentication" messages. I have tried to change everything I can possibly think of but I still get the same error message. I also receive it if I don't include any details, which leads me to believe that I am doing something wrong but I cannot see it. Below is a copy of the message I am sending to google (I have blanked out my password). I am posting it to www.google.com on port 443 using a secure connection. I always get a 403 response.

I tried the username and password in Google/Picassa many times to try and validate them, with no fails.

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas, I would appreciate it. After working with Flickr I though Google would be a walk in the park, but I cannot even get authenticated and I am tired of seeing "Error=BadAuthentication" all the time.
