GNOME Online Accounts - Single sign-on framework for GNOME
==========================================================


Facebook
--------

OAuth 2.0:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/manually-build-a-login-flow
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/oauth/
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/

Scopes: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions/

Notes:
The client-side flow returns the access_token and expires_in in the URI's
fragment, and does not provide a refresh_token. However, if the user denied
access then the error is returned in the URI's query. The URIs look like this:
  - <get_redirect_uri>?#access_token=...
  - <get_redirect_uri>?error=access_denied...#_=_

Notes:
We are allowed to embed the client_secret in the source code. See

Windows Live

OAuth 2.0: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/live/hh243647.aspx

Notes:
We do not need the client_secret because we are marked as a desktop or mobile
application, and we use https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf as the
redirect_uri.
