Scoop Beta 0.33
For those of you who couldn’t get Scoop to sync with your Google Reader accounts there’s a new Scoop Update - Beta 0.33 - which will (hopefully!) fix this.
Although I wasn’t able to reproduce this bug on my test machines one of the Scoop users who could (cheers Danny) assisted me to get the the core of the problem.
The cause of the problem was that to syncronize feeds/tags/reading lists with Google Reader API Scoop needs to be able to send authorization headers to google.com in each http data request. I believe that Flash Player in AIR was stripping out these custom headers which was causing the Google Reader sync to fail.
I’ve now implemented an alternative solution for calling Google.com using Abdul Qabiz’s custom HTTP Authentication Class (Thanks Abdul!). which according to my helpful tester Dan has fixed the Google Reader Sync issue for him. Hopefully for others too.
BTW - I know that Scoop still needs some optimization work but that and adding folders are top of my list now!
