OpenID Tutorial: Error in parsing the OpenID auth request

February 6, 2013 // Programming


When following this great tutorial on how to use OpenID with PHP:

http://qpleple.com/how-to-make-people-login-into-your-website-with-their-google-account/

I encountered the following error:

Error: invalid_request
Error in parsing the OpenID auth request.

I believe this problem may be encountered because my testing server does not have SSL, and Google will not accept requests that do not come from a “https://” URL.  I am installing an SSL cert on my testing domain and will report back.
