Hello @mbrt,

Ran across this issue where the URL to get the authorization code looks like:

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?access_type=offline&client_id=123xyz8gromv5ecgbmmt.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&response_type=code&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%....

Then I saw your comment in an earlier issue that mentions the same thing.
How did you extract the auth code?
Thanks!

It took me a minute to figure it out, but there's a &code=[^&]+ (regex syntax) segment in the redirect URL, and the part after the = there is the code.

Yeah, the auth workflow is quite screwed up at the moment. I still need to figure out what changed and adapt. @durin42 is correct.
