bgemmill / acd_cli Goto Github PK

I am a former user of the old repo and needless to say was very upset (as were the rest of us) to learn about what had transpired over this past weekend.

Given that it seems that the owner of this github is basically taking ownership of the issue and seems to be willing to help out and/or attempt fixing the issue in the event amazon replies, I was wondering if there is a place we can donate funds for the time and effort?

I certainly appreciate anyone's assistance in getting this project running again and I am willing to bet that others would gladly be willing to donate as well.

This also applies to the original repo of acd_cli if the owner reappears or contributes to the fix. Sorry for opening an issue for this, feel free to remove. Since I am unfortunately not advanced enough in programming, I would just like to help out anyway possible.

Thanks.

Hi
From what I saw in the discussions in the original repo the plan is to fix appspot and ask Amazon for a new client id. I'm just wondering: Why keep using appspot as a middleware?

Wouldn't something like this work:

• Spin up a simple Python webserver on port xyz (on the client)
• Start the oauth authentication process and use http://localhost:xyz/... as redirect url
• fetch the token, shutdown the webserver and run acd_cli

Personally I'd trust such a solution more than something that passes my token through a non Amazon middleware.

Amazon purges properties from apps that lose security clearance.
