[Interest] Question on qt-google-calendar from Qt-interest

[Harri Pasanen]

Hi,

I had no problems with Google docs, but I could not see how the ICS 
module obtained the authentication token.  It seemed to use some 
hack/feature of QWebView?

I ended up using a variation of 
http://tftfy.blogspot.fr/2011/12/simple-oauth-20-in-qt.html instead, 
which seems to be pretty complete implementation of OAuth2 in Qt, 
although a bit more complex to use.    That does implement the callback 
interface (local server), which IMHO is required, and is missing from 
the ICS module.

If you don't implement local server, the OAuth2 standard's hack was to 
user some browser title change... but the redirect URI for that did not 
work with ICS module.
