    copied!<p>I am trying to get my Django app (NOT using Google app engine) retrieve data from Google Contacts using Google Contacts Data API. Going through <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/AuthSub.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">authentication documentation</a> as well as <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/contacts/docs/1.0/developers_guide_python.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Data API Python client docs</a></p> <p>First step (AuthSubRequest) which is getting the single-use token works fine. The next step(AuthSubSessionToken), which is upgrade single-use token to a session token. The python API call UpgradeToSessionToken() simply didn't work for me it gave me NonAuthSubToken exception:</p> <pre><code>gd_client = gdata.contacts.service.ContactsService() gd_client.auth_token = authsub_token gd_client.UpgradeToSessionToken() </code></pre> <p>As an alternative I want to get it working by "manually" constructing the HTTP request:</p> <pre><code>url = 'https://www.google.com/accounts/AuthSubSessionToken' headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'Authorization': 'AuthSub token=' + authsub_token, 'User-Agent': 'Python/2.6.1', 'Host': 'https://www.google.com', 'Accept': 'text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2', 'Connection': 'keep-alive', } req = urllib2.Request(url, None, headers) response = urllib2.urlopen(req) </code></pre> <p>this gives me a different error: </p> <p>HTTP Error 302: The HTTP server returned a redirect error that would lead to an infinite loop. The last 30x error message was: Moved Temporarily</p> <p>What am I doing wrong here? I'd appreciate help/advice/suggestions with either of the methods I am trying to use: Python API call (UpgradeToSessionToken) or manually constructing HTTP request with urllib2.</p>
