[YouTube-API] Re: Sporadic OAuthGetAccessToken 400 Errors

Hello AJ,

Yes, the change mentioned above was definitely rolled back.

The Auth team is in the process of making a couple of other backend
changes to the OAuth v1 infrastructure which may increase the overall
reliability, but OAuth v1 in general is an extremely fickle protocol
and I can point to several thread describing OAuth v1 issues that
never were properly explained. Using OAuth v2 is a good alternative in
my mind, but if you're stuck with OAuth v1 and the problems persist
once the infrastructure changes are made (within a couple of weeks),
we could try to do a thorough debugging session.

Cheers,
-Jeff Posnick, YouTube API Team
