I'm getting this message from flickr when I try to login/authorize:

"An external application has requested your login credentials and permission to perform certain actions on your behalf, but has failed to include all the required data.
You don't really need to know what this means, except that you can't use the application until this problem is fixed. (It's a third-party problem, not a Flickr problem.)"

(I don't see this error already posted..) Is there maybe a recent Oauth change? Any ideas for a workaround?

-- on other threads, I have seen suggestions to remove https - so when I change to:
http://www.flickr.com/services/oauth/authorize.gne

The error heading changes to:
Oops! There's no oauth_token parameter.

@dave225 - sorry for the delay in responding - do you still see this error. We're not able to reproduce at our end.

@amartinwest - Flickr has recently changed the logic on their end and is forcefully redirecting to https://localhost... URL even though the application suggests to use http://localhost... URL (https vs http) - so others have noted, one would need to manually change the URL from https to http after successful authentication (preserving everything else on the URL)

Please let us know if that works for you

@cutedaffodil - I worked through the issue - but it's been a few weeks and I don't remember the details. I remember it had to do with confusion in the install instruction ... I will post any update if I can recreate the issue.

I got a different SSL error on Windows with Firefox: "SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG". Chrome had a different message from both Firefox and the opening post above, but also failed. However the solution was the same as noted on Apr 4 above: manually change the httpS://localhost... url to plain http://localhost....
