Feb 20, 2012 at 23:19 comment added Kevin Montrose Hmm, sounds like connectivity issues to stackauth.com. I'll make some changes, odd that it's intermittent though.
Feb 20, 2012 at 23:10 comment added Jonathan. When the login process stops this is the HTML which appears: pastebin.com/R6GG1t3Y, although the javascript stackauth function has the correct URL in it, this is the URL that the page is (I've tried it with Charles proxy to make sure it's not just my app giving the wrong url) stackexchange.com/oauth/…. Now Safari and Chrome have started performing the login correctly (intermittently)
Feb 20, 2012 at 22:55 comment added Kevin Montrose the behavior of the api is subject to change save for the entry point (/oauth/dialog) and the destination (whatever was passed as redirect_uri). The returnurl being set is an implementation detail relating to allowing anonymous users to login as part of approving an app. The link in your comment is just to a "please approve this app" page, which seems correct to me?
Feb 20, 2012 at 22:48 comment added Jonathan. As far as I'm aware the API sets the returnurl parameter? Because the final page is this one: stackexchange.com/oauth/…, where it says you are being returned to StackInbox. But I never get to the redirect_uri.
Feb 20, 2012 at 22:38 comment added Kevin Montrose I can't reproduce this. In all my browsers (including Safari) I end up on /oauth/login_success with an access token and expiration in the hash. Your example includes the same redirect_uri both times, a returnurl is being added in the second case.
