Do you support header based Authorization... - FriendFeed API v2

Do you support header based Authorization parameters? I only ask because I am trying to use a 3rd party library on the iphone to connect using Installed Application Authentication and it is failing (returns html saying unauthorized access to a protected resource) - this library only uses Authentication headers... I will keep playing.

I might just write a simple library to connect instead of using this library :) - Paul Kinlan

We do support OAuth via Authentication headers. Returning HTML when hitting /account/oauth/ia_access_token sounds like a bug though; we'll fix soon. - Benjamin Golub

Might be me - Paul Kinlan

Didn't realize that you had to create a separate application for Installed Application access. Will let you know if I get it working :) - Paul Kinlan

And if we had returned JSON/XML instead of HTML the error message would have told you that :(. We'll fix that bug. - Benjamin Golub

cool - using the correct key everything works using the friendfeed.py api, however the api library for the iphone still doesn't work - but at least I know it is the library or the way I am using the library that is causing my issue now :) Thanks. - Paul Kinlan

Just to let you know, I have it working now... The Authorization header are supported ;). it was all about me trying to reuse my FriendBoo app conumer key and secrety and not creating a new application, and because it wasn't working I started changing the oauth library :) I reverted back to the original code, used the new key and secret and I have just got an authorization token back. All good :) - Paul Kinlan
