Error in the Authentication section of the writeup

Open rybern opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

Hi,

I'm using your great wiki section to implement my own cloud API client, and I came across a couple of errors in the authentication section, both to do with what you call the "refresh" function. Both of these things are correct in your PHP example but not in the documentation.

Firstly, it should be a POST, not a GET.

Second, it doesn't just update the token, it always produces a new token, and it's always necessary to do. You don't seem to be able to use the token from the first API call ("device" token, per the URL) as the Bearer for the storage API, you have to "refresh" it to get a second token ("user" token per the URL). It isn't a matter of expiration.

Thanks for the excellent writeup!

I think you should be able to update the wiki yourself? Let me know if that doesn't work for some reason.

(It looks to me that I cannot edit the wiki via GUI (you can git clone it...but that is cumbersome...))

Hmm, can you try again?

Now it works! wiki is updated a bit.

@rybern do you apply your own changes?
