Hi,

I am experimenting withe Google Calendar API and am struggling with how to post the following XML:

<entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'
    xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005'>
  <category scheme='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind'
    term='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event'></category>
  <title type='text'>Tennis with Beth</title>
  <content type='text'>Meet for a quick lesson.</content>
  <gd:transparency
    value='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event.opaque'>
  </gd:transparency>
  <gd:eventStatus
    value='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event.confirmed'>
  </gd:eventStatus>
  <gd:where valueString='Rolling Lawn Courts'></gd:where>
  <gd:when startTime='2006-04-17T15:00:00.000Z'
    endTime='2006-04-17T17:00:00.000Z'></gd:when>
</entry>

I am authenticating correctly to Google but every time I try to post I get an error of Bad Request.

Here is my script:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   libUrlSetSSLVerification false
   
   set the sslcertificates to "/usr/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt"
   
   put "myLogin@gmail.com" into theEmail
   put "myPassword" into thePassword
   set the httpheaders to ""
   
   put "https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin" into theURL
   put libUrlFormData("accountType", "HOSTED_OR_GOOGLE", \
   "Email", theEmail, \
   "Passwd", thePassword, \
   "service", "cl", \
   "source", "gwt-lagb-1") into theData
   
   post theData to theURL
   put  it into field "output"
   
   --read the AUTH string
   set the itemdelimiter to "="
   put the last item of field "Output" into AUTH
   
   put "http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/default/private/full" into curlURL
   put "Content-type: application/atom+xml" &LF &"Authorization: GoogleLogin auth=" &AUTH into field "HEADER"
   set the httpheaders to field "HEADER"
   get field "myevent" 
   put it into theData
   post theData to curlURL
   put  it into field "output"
   
    --Google sends a SSID cookie that has to be included if the first attempt fails
   if field "Output" contains "Moved Temporarily" then
      put offset("gsessionid=",field "Output") into fcharSSID
      put offset(">here<",field "Output")- 2 into lcharSSID
      put char (fcharSSID) to (lcharSSID) of field "Output" into SSID
      get field "myevent" 
   put it into theData
      put curlURL & "?" & SSID into curlURL2
       post theData to curlURL2
      put it into field "Output"
   end if
end mouseUp

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Gary

Don't know if you just left it out for the posting here, but shouldn't the data have the <?xml...declaration at the start?

Best,
