ah! Mic's Twitter example was *very* useful.
Running web2py.py from a command line (on Win7HE) worked a treat but launching from within Eclipse (Helios) failed to return from Twitter. Why... well the 'return url' sent to twitter had the port number duplicated. So instead of http://127.0.0.1:8000/helloTwitter/default/home_timeline we have http://127.0.0.1:8000:8000/helloTwitter/default/home_timeline and of course that :8000:8000 means that the browser's redirecting nowhere fast. Twitter displays the return URL making it easy to diagnose. Linkedin does not so I had gotten stuck. So similarly, my round-trip to Linkedin works when running from a command line but not from within Eclipse. The duplicate port number happens in gluon/contrib/login_methods/ oauth10a_account.py in __redirect_uri() The line "if not http_host: http_host=r.env.http_host" retrieves a host name including a port number. The line url_port = ':' + r.env.server_port adds the port number again. The headache is: why does this happen within Eclipse but not from a command-line? Does anyone know the cure for this headache?
