ABOUT AUTHSUB

28       AuthSub is Google's method of authentication for their web services. It
29       is also used by other web sites.

DEALING WITH CAPTCHAS

40       If a login response fails then it may set the error code to
41       'CaptchRequired' and the response object will allow you to retrieve the
42       "captchatoken" and "captchaurl" fields.
43
44       The "captchaurl" will be the url to a captcha image or you can show the
45       user the web page
46
47           https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
48
49       Then retry the login attempt passing in the parameters "logintoken"
50       (which is the value of "captchatoken") and "logincaptcha" which is the
51       user's answer to the CAPTCHA.
52
53           my $auth = Net::Google::AuthSub->new;
54           my $res  = $auth->login($user, $pass);
55
56           if (!$res->is_success && $res->error eq 'CaptchaRequired') {
57               my $answer = display_captcha($res->captchaurl);
58               $auth->login($user, $pass, logintoken => $res->captchatoken, logincaptcha => $answer);
59           }

132
133       scope (required)
134           URL identifying the service to be accessed. The resulting token
135           will enable access to the specified service only. Some services may
136           limit scope further, such as read-only access.
137
138           For example
139
140               http://www.google.com/calendar/feed
141
142       secure
143           Boolean flag indicating whether the authentication transaction
144           should issue a secure token (1) or a non-secure token (0).  Secure

146
147       session
148           Boolean flag indicating whether the one-time-use token may be

150
151   session_token
152       Exchange the temporary token for a long-lived session token.
153
154       The single-use token is acquired by visiting the url generated by
155       calling request_token.
156
157       Returns the token if success and undef if failure.
158
159   revoke_token
160       Revoke a valid session token. Session tokens have no expiration date

162
163       Returns 1 if success and undef if failure.
164
165   token_info
166       Call AuthSubTokenInfo to test whether a given session token is valid.
167       This method validates the token in the same way that a Google service
168       would; application developers can use this method to verify that their
169       application is getting valid tokens and handling them appropriately
170       without involving a call to the Google service. It can also be used to
171       get information about the token, including next URL, scope, and secure
172       status, as specified in the original token request.
173
174       Returns a "Net::Google::AuthSub::Response" object on success or undef
175       on failure.
176
177   auth_params
178       Return any parameters needed in an HTTP request to authorise your app.
