Storage-first auth still possible?

raucao · December 27, 2013, 3:15pm

I vaguely remember @michielbdejong recently saying that storage-first auth should still work. Is that so, and if yes, shouldn’t we either document it asap or decide to drop it, if it’s not a recommended feature?

i think this was about the ready event getting fired multiple times, which was fixed.

the starter-kit is based on storage-first (although it also supports webfinger with me@localhost as the user address), so you can see it working there:

github.com

remotestorage/starter-kit/blob/master/localhost-server.js#L96-L117


  res.writeHead(200, {
    'content-type': 'text/html'
  });
  res.write('<!DOCTYPE html lang="en"><head><title>'+config.host+'</title><meta charset="utf-8"></head><body><ul>');
  var outstanding = 0;
  for(var i in config.apps) {
    outstanding++;
    (function(i) {
      createToken(config.defaultUserName, [rootScope+':rw'], function(token) {
        res.write('<li><a href="'+i+'#remotestorage=me@'+config.host+':'+config.mainPort
                  +'&access_token='+token+'">'+config.apps[i]+'</a></li>');
        outstanding--;
        if(outstanding==0) {
          res.write('</ul></body></html>');
          res.end();
        }
      });
    })(i);
  }
}

it’s still a recommended feature, would be great if you could add it to https://5apps.com/storage! it’s documented here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dejong-remotestorage-02#section-11

Thanks for the update.

Ok, we just added support for this to our Storage dashboard.

I added some comments on IRC about the spec being a bit unspecific about the details and that it would help to provide a short example as well.

put your irc comments into an issue https://github.com/remotestorage/spec/issues/59
