Redirect URI not matching

My redirect URL looks like this:

 

http://joomla.development/main/administrator/index.php?option=OPTION&task=CALLBACK_TASK&service=SERV...

 

Which is also added to the application as a redirect URL.

 

I keep getting 400 - Invalid redirect_uri.

 

If I change it to something like http://joomla.development/main/administrator/index.php?id=* as I saw in another post it works but this callback has zero interest in me as I cannot use it.

 

Having used plenty of other services with OAuth I never had any issue with them except constant contact. Anyone can give a clue why this happens?

 

My redirect link to get the authorization code looks like this:

 

https://api.cc.email/v3/idfed?client_id=' . $clientID . '&redirect_uri=' . rawurlencode($redirect_url) . '&scope=' . rawurlencode($this->scope) . '&response_type=code

I solved a problem like this by creating a specific endpoint for that variable / workflow that you are trying to reach.

Hello,

 

Thank you for reaching out to Constant Contact API Developer Support.

 

You can use a wildcard in your redirect URL but can place it at a slightly different spot to accommodate your use case. Please try registering the following as your redirect URI and let me know if you see the same issue:

http://joomla.development/main/administrator/index.php*

This does not work for me. It throws 400 invalid redirect_uri error.

 

What works is the following:

 

Developer Constant Contact App redirect_uri:

http://joomla.development/main/administrator/index.php?opt=*

 

Then in my code use the following as redirect URL:

http://joomla.development/main/administrator/index.php?opt=something

 

This means I have to change how my other integrations work or create a new way to handle Constant Contact OAuth flow.

If I try to use the following Redirect URI in my Constant Contact Application:

 

http://joomla.box/main/administrator/index.php*

 

And then set the following Redirect URI in my application for the authentication process:

 

http://joomla.box/main/administrator/index.php?option=myoption&task=mytask&view=myview

 

Then I get redirected to the following URL after the authentication has been successful:

 

http://joomla.box/main/administrator/index.php?option=myoption&code=AUTH_CODE

 

Why does it use the first $_GET argument and not the others as well?

 

How can I make it use my redirect URL and then pass the authentication code?
