Rails - Oct 2009 - Contacts gem is not fetching the Gmail a/c contacts.

Hi All,

I have used the contacts gem to import mail accounts contacts for invite
friends’ module in my application.

It was working perfectly; I have tested that before getting into live
with Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail.

Now, I was re-checking every feature on my site, so tried to import the
contacts from Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail is working perfectly as I tested
before, but for Gmail is not working.

Then I was checking contacts gem what it is throwing the errors. It
says,

C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems
/contacts-1.0.16/lib/contacts/gmail.rb:43:in `real_connect'': Username
and password do not match (Contacts::AuthenticationError)

I have passed the correct username and password.

Is anyone facing the same problem?

If you have used the contacts gem in your project, please re-check /
re-test that and let me know the status for Gmail domain.

Looking forwarded (suggestion and solutions for this issue),

Thanks,
Sathish Kumar

Hello,

I am facing the same issue. On a little debugging, I have reached to point
where the exception is raised due to the following

*data.index("New to Gmail? It''s free and easy")*
in gmail.rb file line 42 .


I think there are some URL changes recently done or some argument changes.

Best Wishes,
Saideep Annadatha

Hi Saideed,

Thanks for your comment here.

I have checked too... Gmail and hotmail too changed some protocols or 
their secure way of authentication or as you said arguments.

Actually, I was dogged into that issue after posting this,

In Gmail, There is something called GALX parameter which one''s value 
(random value but encoded) used differently in firefox, IE and 
components. As such when you are hitting the gmail server for requesting 
login(www.gmail.com) page. It creates that value and sent it back with 
login page.

When you have entered your logging in details and hits the submit 
button, it will passed, verified and logged in.

Same as components also has this GALX, it passed that GALX through 
cookie.

It thrown me like your cookies are not turned on! please turn it on! 
like that error.

thanks once again...

Anyone found solution...?
