| Subject: | Can no longer access spreadsheets |
I have written some scripts which programmatically access a google
spreadsheet using the ClientLogin access mode (e.g. I pass in a google
mail, and password) in Net::Google::Spreadsheets. These have worked
flawlessly up until this morning (and are really cool, I might add).
Today, I find that the Net::Google::AuthSub portion of the system seems
to be working, e.g. I get a valid Authorization => 'GoogleLogin
auth=.....' response from it. But when the
Net::Google::Spreadsheets::UserAgent::feed method tries to get an atom
feed using the token, it seems to get redirected a couple of times, and
finally receives a response consisting of the google login page instead
of the atom feed for my spreadsheet. This causes XML:Atom::Feed to
throw an exception, for obvious reasons.
I am wondering if Google has changed access due to the recent twitter
break in? Anyway, just on a hunch I downloaded the 'official' python
library, and ran a test script to just do a listing of my spreadsheets,
and it still works, so there is something subtly different in the way
the python library is accessing the site, and the way
Net::Google::Spreadsheets is accessing the site. I tried running my
test python script through the debugger to see if I could spot anything
obvious, but I could not spot anything. I am not very proficient in python.
I have tried accessing from two different servers, both using
Net::Google::Spreadsheets version 0.04, and perl v 5.8.8:
Linux 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 09:10:25 EDT 2009 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Linux 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5PAE #1 SMP Thu May 7 11:14:31 EDT 2009 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I am sorry that I could not be more specific of the problem.
