I keep receiving this error from windows live
The provided value for the input parameter 'redirect_uri' is not valid. The expected value is 'https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf' or a URL which matches the redirect
Why do I keep receiving this error. I have the domain set in the windows live developer app
in the <head> element I have
<script src="//js.live.net/v5.0/wl.js"></script>
just below the <body> element I have
WL.init({
client_id: '{S_AL_WL_CLIENT_ID}', //{S_AL_WL_CLIENT_ID} = phpbb template variable for client_id
redirect_uri: '{AL_BOARD_URL}', //{AL_BOARD_URL} = phpbb template variable for the urlencoded domain name
response_type: 'token',
scope: ["wl.signin", "wl.basic", "wl.birthday", "wl.emails", "wl.work_profile", "wl.postal_addresses"]
});
the login button is
<div id="login">
<a href="#"><img src="images/windows_live_connect.png" alt="Windows Live" /></a>
</div>
the listener
jQuery('#login a').click(function(e)
{
e.preventDefault();
WL.login({
scope: ["wl.signin", "wl.basic", "wl.birthday", "wl.emails", "wl.work_profile", "wl.postal_addresses"]
}).then(function (response)
{
//do something with stuff here. You know brainy type ajaxy stuff to auth a user
},
function (responseFailed)
{
console.log("Error signing in: " + responseFailed.error_description);
});
});

The problem turned out that windows-live redirect_uri has to be exactly http://www.yourdomain.com and not http://yourdomain.com.
So if a user inputs http://yourdomain.com then this error will show but if a user has http://www.yourdomain.com then the script works.
I think I have been very spoilt with the Facebook Api.
So in the end I just made a regex to match against any url using the login button and force it to be www with .htaccess.
