I'm trying to get a FacebookLoginTest running.
Problem is: the Symfony2 client does not send real HTTP requests, so it does not work on URLs of other services (like facebook).
I know I could work with cUrl,... but I see so many obstacles there: session, javascript, redirects.
Any ideas how we could get this running? Anyone got a automatic oAuth test running?
Your best bet might be Goutte https://github.com/fabpot/Goutte which is a wrapper around the Sf2 components you're using combined with an HTTP client. Good luck!
curl should work just fine for this, and while it doesn't support javascript, you won't need js support for what you're trying to accomplish.

I want to create post request to a webapp that does not have API endpoints.
I want to be able to login, fetch data and post data. I have just stumbled upon GuzzleHttp, but HTTP alone is so hard. The webapp is a laravel application. How can I do this? Or is there elegant way of doing this?
Try Goutte. It uses Guzzle under the hood, but provides higher level interface to deal with web sites.
I hope someone could help with this:
I am working on a php project and I need to implement the authentication of the application as a Service. I need to do something like Google where offers a Service to login in other applications using Google's Authentication Service (for example trello.com allows visitors to login with their google account).
I would like to clarify my mind, because I have no idea how to start it. I am using Symfony2 framework and I'm trying to work RESTFully, but basically what I need is just an idea of what I have to do or investigate to carry this out.
As the symfony Ecosystem is big, take a look at the FOSRestBundle for creating the API. Then there is the NelmioApiDocBundle for easy documentation of your REST-API. For authenticating you should consider OAuth, so take a look at the FOSOAuthServerBundle. With all three combined you can create a great API.

I am using django allauth in a variety of application that i make and its awesome!
Right now, I am trying to develop a login process in two separate steps.
I have a client(mobile) social login with some provider(twitter, Facebook) and the client takes the oauth credentials and sends them back to the server.
That means, that i do not need to use the forms and the templates provided, since all that are handled just fine by the client already.
What i need, is to know what functions/views i need to call in order to avoid all the functions that need the request to work properly.
I hope that i explained in detail my issue.
Thank you in advance,

I am making an ios app that requires a webservice. The webservice will be using an already-in-place and completely unchangeable (for my purposes) database that is handled by Django. I know how to set up the UI and develop apps in general, but how do I manage the backend side / client side for login? I noticed some people talking about TastyPie when I researched the topic but I am unsure about what exactly that entails. I've been using php for the rest of the service - would using TastyPie make me write it in some other language? Is TastyPie really necessary?
Furthermore, I saw someone say that one may just put a UIWebView and then take the cookie out of it when the login. Is that feasible? It sounds like the easiest option.
Thanks for any help!
Tastypie is just a Python Django framework to help developers write REST APIs easily.
Yes using Tastypie will make you write APIs in Python. Tastypie is not necessary to write REST APIs.
In your case since you can not change the database. I would suggest you to write REST API in Python Django and use django.auth login method after authenticating the credentials. login method will create the session key for you. You can send back that key in response and then pass that key to all the subsequent REST API calls. Do not use Tastypie for writing this API as Tastypie will require you to add some tables in the DB.
I will suggest AFNetworking as a library that is commonly used to communicate with REST services. There should be no need to change your existing server code. AFNetworking is on github.
There are also a ton of posts on StackOverflow about using AFNetworking. Pertaining to the specifics of logging in - look at this User Login With AFNetworking or search further.
I am having a strange problem while making an application in iPhone. The problem is in making a POST request to the server API in ColdFusion. We have two servers: one is for Testing and other for Production. The app works perfectly on the Testing server, but when we do a POST request in Production server the API couldn't read the request variable and gives error as Element xxxxx is undefined in ATTRIBUTES, but actually it is there. One reason could be different User-Agents, but after trying many combinations it does not work.
Any help would be very appreciated.
I don't understand why you're talking about different user-agent? It's iPhone to test server or iPhone to production server, no? Is the configuration exactly the same including the Application.cfc (or Application.cfm)?
Web app or native app calling cfc's?
I don't think user-agents make any difference. Try to submit request directly through browser to make sure it is really working. Best way to do that NSLog url request and paste it in browser.
I figured out the problem. It was the "LINK" I was using. The API worked with adding "www" to the link, where as I was using the link without "www". Hope it helps someone.
Thanks.
