    Hi, I am working through the Application authorization process now for an app I am building. The problem I am seeing involves the Vimeo application authorization_page which allows the user to grant permissions to the app, etc ... if the user is not logged-in on their web browser at the time the process ends here, the authorization url redirects to the login form, but even after a successful login it does not return the user to the authorization approval page, they would have to then repeat the procedure from the application (which is very clunky). Is it possible to have a successful login automatically take the user to the auth page again for them to grant approval?

    I have tried bypassing all of this by using WWW::Mechanize which can slurp a page, access a specific form and submit it programmatically but it does not work in the authorization portion of this process, not sure why it fails as the mechanize lib keeps track of all cookies and simulates the user being logged-in to the Vimeo website. This would be the ideal solution if I could get that working, but the above request is livable also. :) I am building this in Ruby by the way and building a Ruby Vimeo lib in the process as I go.

    Please advise.

    Thanks!

    Hrm. It should redirect the user to the api auth page after logging in.. we'll have to take a look at it.
