Smalltalk Daily 09/29/10: Using Google Client Auth
Today's Smalltalk Daily looks at implementing a client interface to Google services. That required implementing the client login scheme google uses (for desktop clients).

"get the request token - cl is the calendar service" gAuth := AuthRequest requestTokenFor: 'cl' user: username password: password clientName: 'Cincom-VisualWorks-771'.
