We need: SSL, Async http, external libraries & better support for native controls

We can't even support oauth 2.x without ssl and many api's are untenable without async

please give us a ETA for SSL & async http

Thanks

I'm with you on wanting all of these.

But I don't exactly follow you when you say SSL isn't available, and it's not possible to do OAuth 2.x.

I tried this code:

url = "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=xxx&redirect_uri=http://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html&type=user_agent&display=touch"

native.showWebPopup(url)

and it worked - the facebook login page accessed via https was successfully loaded.

I too am planning to implement OAuth 2.x authentication for a facebook game. I described what I'm planning to do here: http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2010/10/17/facebook-oauth-authentication

Can you care to elaborate why this isn't possible? I just want to know if I'm on a dead-end path.

Thanks.

https works fine in web popup (that's a fully compliant browser), but it is not supported via the included http.lua library which is what you have to use when you want to make headless (no UI) calls to the API. So yes, you can authenticate, but you cannot make subsequent calls to actually get data from the api.

And Ansca is not being very forthcoming on a schedule to add this support.....makes it very hard to plan a dev cycle and schedule everything that goes with launching a product. Without knowing their intentions, we're not even certain we can use Corona and could be wasting a lot of effort on a dead end.....fairly frustrating to say the least.

I found a workaround. It's not pretty, and I still very much would like official support for async http, but for now, check out: http://developer.anscamobile.com/code/corona-async-http

The latest version of Corona is supposed to support HTTPS, but am not sure if this is fully implemented.
I managed to do a requires to a https URLs, but only to ones that do not require authentication.

For the ones that do require authentication, I still haven't figured out a solution.
