What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. use the [authSample script] https://code.google.com/p/google-api-javascript-client/source/browse/samples/authSample.html ;
2. set multiple scopes instead of ' https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me'; for example:
   var scopes = [
   ' https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file' ,
   ' https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email' ,
   ' https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile' ];
3. Save, Run and Click the "Authorize" button.

What is the expected output?

1. An optional sign in
2. A pop-up window describing the requested authorizations

What do you see instead?

1. A blank pop-up window
2. Displaying the source shows a html What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Drive v2, oAuth v2, MSIE 8 / Windows 7 Please provide any additional information below. 1. To be honest, this works fine with Chrome and Firefox.
3. -key (MSIE Developer Tools) didn't help me

I have this similar issue when using IE9.

1. Call is made: https://apis.google.com/js/client.js?onload=handleClientLoad 2. handleClientLoad JS function triggered:
   function handleClientLoad() {
   gapi.client.setApiKey(apiKey);
   window.setTimeout(checkAuth, 1);
   }
2. checkAuth JS function is triggered:
   function checkAuth() {
   gapi.auth.authorize({
   client_id: clientId, scope: scopes, immediate: true
   }, handleAuthResult);
   }
3. handleAuthResult(authResult) JS function is triggered

When the handleAuthResult is triggered, the 'authResult' parameter should have data in it; however, this is not the case when running IE9. The 'authResult' ends up being null. If gapi.auth.authorize is called with 'immediate' set to false, blank window pops up.

Technically scopes should be a string, not an array. Can you try passing a space-delimited string specifying your scopes?

Technically, the array does work with ff and chrome.
Technically, it's really basic to check - can't understand why you did not try.

3. Any way, I did the following change,
   changed:
   var scopes = [
   ' https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file' ,
   ' https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email' ,
   ' https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile' ];
   to
   var scopes =
   ' https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file '+
   ' https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email '+
   ' https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile' ;
   Did not work.
   Then I reverted my changes.

Guess what: now, it does work under Chrome and FF and MSIE.

Seems to have been magically fixed :-\
