[YouTube-API] Re: Problem regarding displaying the application name in the Authorization Page

Hi Jeffrey,

After doing some R&D I came across the following content from the URL
http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OAuth_ref.html#Parameters:

"String identifying the application. This string is displayed to end
users on Google's authorization confirmation page. For registered
applications, the value of this parameter overrides the name set
during registration and also triggers a message to the user that the
identity can't be verified. For unregistered applications, this
parameter enables them to specify an application name, In the case of
unregistered applications, if this parameter is not set, Google
identifies the application using the URL value of oauth_callback; if
neither parameter is set, Google uses the string "anonymous"

Authorization header of a GET or POST request. Use "Authorization:
OAuth". All parameters listed above can go in the header, except for
scope and xoauth_displayname, which must go either in the body or in
the URL as a query parameter. The example below puts them in the body
of the request.

So, I tried setting the value of the parameter xoauth_displayname to
'My_App_Name':
1. When I tried this with registered Developer ID: Authorization page
mentions Consumer Key instead of app name
2. When I tried with unregistered Developer ID: Authorization page
mentions 'anonymous'

Note:
1. I am using GData framework with OAuth 1.0 support.
2. The method 'tokenRequestKeys' in GDataOAuthAuthentication of this
framework already included the key 'xoauth_displayname'.
3. I noticed that these parameters are included in authorization
header of OAuthTokenRequest in the GData framework. But, the
documentation mentions that the parameter 'xoauth_displayname' cannot
go with authorization header.

Is there any bug in the framework that I am using? Which revision of
GData source I need to use.
I checked the latest GData framework that supports OAuth2.0. Since I
am in last state of the project I will not be able to integrate the
major change [OAuth 1.0 interface to OAuth 2.0 interface]

Kindle please help me and sorry for the huge content in the mail.

Thanks and Regards,
Deepa
