Hi

I still got Contacts::AuthenticationError: Username and password do not match on my production server but not on my local server,

when I check on data and response I get this:
The code you entered is invalid. Please try again

and show recaptcha, could this gem handle captcha on yahoo login page?

thanks

Since a couple days ago, GMX has redesigned most of its website and the redirects are not working any more. This is due to two reasons (both of which I have fixed locally):

1. Mozilla Firefox 2.0 as user agent is not supported -> changing to Firefox 18 will work
2. GMX uses relative redirects which base.rb does not support yet

The third reason is a change of redirects. I have fixed this, but it is currently not working, and I don't understand why, since when recording the session in Firefox the redirects and cookies are exactly the same.

Would you be willing to collaborate on a fix? I can send a patch with the current status.

Hi liangzan, when I try Contacts.new(:yahoo, email_yahoo, password_yahoo).contacts.size
I only get 9 contacts, I've more than 10 contacts on my account, do you know why this happen?

Thanks

Hi,

I've been using the contacts gem for about 3 years now. I'm glad to see that there's still someone working on it.

I think it's time to forget some parts of the past. I propose to remove the RubyForge link.
It's the first url visible on the GitHub project page but the RubyForge page hasn't been updated for more than 3 years.

This could be a little bit confusing for new users of your gem.

with hotmail import ...

If I use guess, I get this....

However, if I use the gmail version, it works. Why would that be? How do I get guess working.

THANK YOU!

Hi, when i try to find contacts for gmail it give authentication error although my credentials are correct.

I try:
Contacts::Gmail.new("[email protected]","password").conacts

Error:
Contacts::AuthenticationError: Username or password are incorrect
from /home/chandra/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194@itour/bundler/gems/contacts-a8f76537e8b1/lib/contacts/gmail.rb:38:in `rescue in real_connect'

But it works fine for other mail except gmail.

Would you please figure out why its so.

In gem file i have:
gem "liangzan-contacts", :git => 'git://github.com/liangzan/contacts.git'

Getting some errores like this :-(

A Encoding::InvalidByteSequenceError occurred in imported_contacts#import_provider:

""T" on UTF-16

Hi!

In ruby 1.9.2 gmail and yahoo work fine for me, but when switching to 1.9.3, I have following errors:

yahoo:
gems/liangzan-contacts-1.2.9/lib/contacts/yahoo.rb:17:in real_connect': undefined methodindex' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

hotmail:
gems/liangzan-contacts-1.2.9/lib/contacts/hotmail.rb:21:in real_connect': undefined methodsplit' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

In general it looks like data got from 'post/get' methods is nil...

gmail works fine

I tested ruby-1.9.3-p0 [ x86_64 ] and ruby-1.9.3-p125 [ x86_64 ] both have the same error.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Didn't change anything to my server or code but since 5 days I'm getting this error (only with hotmail.)
Tried to update the gem to 1.2.26 : it didn't change anything.

"undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass" when calling

@contacts = (site.new('login', 'password').contacts) || []

it seems the problem come from here (don't know exactly which line since my debugguer is giving me some problems :s ):

in hotmail.rb

def real_connect
   (...)
 data, resp, cookies, forward = get(URL)
  old_url = URL
  until forward.nil?
    data, resp, cookies, forward, old_url = get(forward, cookies, old_url) + [forward]
  end

  postdata =  "PPSX=%s&PwdPad=%s&login=%s&passwd=%s&LoginOptions=2&PPFT=%s" % [
    CGI.escape(data.split("><").grep(/PPSX/).first[/=\S+$/][2..-3]),
    PWDPAD[0...([email protected])],
    CGI.escape(login),
    CGI.escape(password),
    CGI.escape(data.split("><").grep(/PPFT/).first[/=\S+$/][2..-3])
  ]

(...)
end

Regarding to following commit wearedalt@4f979e6 the data returned from Hotmail is in ISO-8859-1 and if we want to show the results in a template usign HAML as template language and we got the error :

incompatible character encodings: ASCII-8BIT and UTF-8

Here is an example of a contact name returned by Hotmail using the gem :
"M\xE9la De R."

This can not be parsed by HAML, is it possible to change the hotmail return back to UTF-8?

Hi,

Currently I have some difficulty each time I want to update the contacts gem.
Before installing a new version, I'm used to check what changes comes with the new version but your gem doesn't provide any information about any change.

I think this could help:

• adding a changelog file
• creating a tag per release
• mentioning version in commit message (eg. bumped the version to 1.2.25)

I also noticed that some popular gems add a <project_name>/version.rb file that they use in their gemspec file.

What do you think about this?

I am getting this error while using Contacts::Yahoo.new(login,password).contacts
undefined method []' for nil:NilClass from /home/sodel/s195/vendor/plugins/contacts/lib/contacts/yahoo.rb:53:incontacts'

from script/rails:6:in `

Didn't change anything to my code and I'm getting this error since a week with Hotmail only :
Any idea ?

CSV::MalformedCSVError in ImportedContactsController#import_provider

Missing or stray quote in line 1

hmm, its works pretty good in the account which EG: [email protected],
but when I tried [email protected] which is also under gmail account, it failed and saying my user and password wrong.

hope to hear you soon.
Thanks!

Hi,
I had to add this today:

Maybe you want to clone it.
