I am having a problem with the GReader authentication API. I can do HTTPS (https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin) for authentication, and google returns three tokens (SID, LSID, AUTH), but not HSID.
When I try to add a new channel http://www.google.com/reader/api/0/subscription/quickadd?ck=1290452912454&client=scroll with POST data T = djj72HsnLS8293 & quickadd = blog.martindoms.com/feed/without HSID in Cookie, this is the response status code 401. With SID and HSID in Cookie, everything works correctly.
What is and where can I find this HSID string?
Thank you for your responses.
My code is:
public void addNewFeed() throws IOException {
HttpPost requestPost = new HttpPost("http://www.google.com/reader/api/0/subscription/quickadd?ck=1290452912454&client=scroll");
getSid();
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
requestPost.addHeader("Cookie", "SID=" + _sid + "; HSID=" + _hsid);
try {
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("T", _token));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("quickadd", "blog.martindoms.com/feed/"));
requestPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
HttpResponse response = client.execute(requestPost);
InputStream in = response.getEntity().getContent();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
str.append(line + "\n");
}
System.out.println(str.toString());
in.close();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
