  1. POHow do I make the Netflix OAuth API use my callback?
    text
    copied!<p>I have a simple Rails application with which I am trying to use the Netflix API to gain access to some of my subscriber information, such as my history and queue. My problem is that no matter what I do, Netflix will not use my <code>oauth_callback</code> url, but instead forwards me to the Netflix site after I authorize the application with my user credentials.</p> <p>Here is the controller code which is making the request to the Netflix API</p> <pre><code>class ExportController &lt; ApplicationController def export consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new( ENV['NETFLIX_KEY'],ENV['NETFLIX_SECRET'], :site =&gt; "http://api.netflix.com", :request_token_url =&gt; "http://api.netflix.com/oauth/request_token", :access_token_url =&gt; "http://api.netflix.com/oauth/access_token", :authorize_url =&gt; "https://api-user.netflix.com/oauth/login" ) request_token = consumer.get_request_token session[:request_token]=request_token session[:request_token_secret]=request_token.secret url = request_token.authorize_url( :oauth_callback =&gt; "http://#{ENV['OAUTH_CALLBACK_DOMAIN']}/export_callback/", :oauth_consumer_key =&gt; ENV['NETFLIX_KEY'], :application_name =&gt; ENV['APPLICATION_NAME'] ) redirect_to url end def export_callback @request_token=OAuth::RequestToken.new(session[:request_token],session[:request_token_secret]) @access_token = @request_token.get_access_token(:oauth_verifier =&gt; params[:oauth_verifier]) end end </code></pre> <p>The controller correctly redirects to <code>https://api-user.netflix.com/oauth/login</code> site, with all the parameters correctly set. I get the Netflix Login/Authorize app page.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/oOVDv.png" alt="Netflix Link Account page"></p> <p>However, if I look at the source of this page, I see in the form that the <code>oauth_callback</code> field is set to <code>oob</code></p> <pre><code> &lt;input type="hidden" name="oauth_callback" value="oob"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've checked several different ways, and I am setting the <code>oauth_callback</code> parameter just the same as the <a href="http://developer.netflix.com/walkthrough" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Netflix Authentication Walkthrough</a>. In fact, when I go through the walkthrough and put in my callback url in their field, it does in fact redirect back to my rails application.</p> <p>So, my question, does anyone know how to make Netflix respect my <code>oauth_callback</code> field?</p> <p>edit:</p> <pre><code>https://api-user.netflix.com/oauth/login?oauth_callback=http%3A%2F%2Fnetflix.dev%2Fexport_callback%2F&amp;oauth_consumer_key=[REMOVED]&amp;oauth_nonce=631831&amp;oauth_timestamp=1321458391&amp;application_name=[REMOVED]&amp;oauth_token=[REMOVED] </code></pre> <p>You can see <code>oauth_callback=http%3A%2F%2Fnetflix.dev%2Fexport_callback%2F</code> being set, which is the route to my local rails app.</p> <p>edit2:</p> <p>I am using the <code>oauth (0.4.5)</code> and <code>rails (3.1.0)</code> and <code>ruby-1.9.2-p290 [ x86_64 ]</code> on Mac OS X 10.6.8.</p>
