rb_goog_auth: Simple Google authentication

This gem wraps the old-fashioned Google "ClientLogin" authentication method. 99% of the time, you should use Google's OAuth APIs. Sometimes, however, you need to do things the old-fashioned way.

Installation

gem install rb_goog_auth

Usage

Given a Google account name, password, source, and service ID, the GoogAuth class will return SID, LSID, and Auth values. You probably just want to retain the Auth value.

For the love of all that is holy, do not store the username and password in your application.

g = GoogAuth.new
c = g.get_credentials(:username => some_user_name, :password => some_password, :source => some_source, :service => some_service)
c.inspect # => {:sid => some_sid, :lsid => some_lsid, :auth => some_auth_token}

If authentication fails, get_credentials will return nil.
